Reactions To Apple's Plans To Open Source Swift
itwbennett writes: At Apple's WWDC 2015 event yesterday, Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, announced that the company planned to open source the Swift language. Reaction to this announcement so far has sounded more or less like this: Deafening applause with undertones of "we'll see." As a commenter on this Ars Technica story points out, "Their [Apple's] previous open-source efforts (Darwin, WebKit, etc) have generally tended to be far more towards the Google style of closed development followed by a public source dump." Simon Phipps, the former director of OSI, also expressed some reservations, saying, "While every additional piece of open source software extends the opportunities for software freedom, the critical question for a programming language is less whether it is itself open source and more whether it's feasible to make open source software with it. Programming languages are glue for SDKs, APIs and libraries. The real value of Swift will be whether it can realistically be used anywhere but Apple's walled garden."

They are what M$ in 90's.
I'm tasked to create webchat site. There where plenty load of technologies to deliver video and voice to viewer. However Apple gives only to HLS to play videos on their devices on web and no access to cameras from web. Also playing HLS on apple device gives a 20 sec delay to viewer.
Every other thing closed.
They reject Flash, they reject WebRTC. They reject anyhting but Apple.
Why ? is there any real technical reason ? I don't think so.
They just protecting to their iTunes Cash Cow.
Dear Apple,
we listen this song decade ago from M$, it was pretty boring and time consuming and now we have to play same boring song from you again.
Maybe you think, you pile of cash, your huge user base, your shiny inteface make this song better.
it won't.
