Apple Shuts Swift Mailing List, Migrates to Online Forum (swift.org)

Apple's Swift project "has completed the process of migrating to the Swift Forums as the primary method for discussion and communication!" announced a blog post on Friday. "The former mailing lists have been shut down and archived, and all mailing list content has been imported into the new forum system."
While they're still maintaining a few Swift-related mailing lists, they're moving discussions into online forums divided into four main categories: Evolution, Development, Using Swift, and Site Feedback. Forum accounts can be set up using either email registration or GitHub accounts.
It was one year ago that Swift creator Chris Lattner answered questions from Slashdot readers.

Before you kids' webmail made e-mail cumbersome and inefficient to deal with, there was a thing called local mail clients. Managing a large amount of mail messages in a decent client is much more efficient than doing click-clicks in a forum. Maybe you should ask Linus why the kernel mailing list is not moved to a forum yet.
Now get off my lawn.
