The solution is to get more personally involved. They don't owe you anything.

Well but now scala (what I knew and just kept running with) is getting native compiler, eventually iOS support, academic underlying calculus for the language, all kinds of good stuff.

I have a lot of respect for Lattner, obviously, but Swift has spent a LOT of goodwill that people were willing to spare it. Unless IBM pulls a really good thing out of their hat, I fear that swift might be in a perl6 position where they finally made a language worth a shit, but ran out of gas as they reached top speed.

I guess time will tell. I WANT swift to be awesome, but in order to make it a rational choice, I NEED swift to be stable, common, and approachable for new employees. (something scala can struggle with for some programmers)

It's really gonna bum me out when swift4 gets announced this spring (/s) and completely ruins everything, and then swift5 would of course be announced around the time swift4 becomes even remotely stable.

It's just been a disaster so far.

I thought about sitting down and learning swift, but they make breaking changed so often I really can't justify the time yet. I'm very curious what IBM comes up with, not sure yet why they're so interested in it other than LLVM.

Interesting news anyways.

I'm down. Anybody in Denver want to do this?

Is there a place for tabletop gamers to organize? I've always wanted to get into it, but just not with the Doritos+MtnDew sort of people. A bunch of infosec professionals playing this game would be highly entertaining, I think.

Well that's what I'm saying. I mean I guess that rabbit hole goes all the way, even if Amazon brought their machines to me, there's still not a guarantee that it won't be stolen somehow.

So this is absolutely a honeypot then, right?

There's no way to verify that this truck full of my corp's valuable data isn't stopped somewhere along the way and cloned and then driven to NSA or something.

Science is becoming too politicized
