When Apple came up with the LLVM static analyzer, they became much more aware of just what kind of coding mistakes were costing them the most time and money, and Swift addresses those issues.
Anyone who is proficient in Swift has hundreds or thousands of companies outside of Apple looking to hire them. Apple has to compete with every iOS software development shop in the world for those people.
I see my occasional stalker has weighed in. Hopefully someday he or she will find the right combination of medications to get a lid on this peculiar behavior.

He spent his whole career of public disservice working to make the government more powerful and more expensive. He of all people fully deserves whatever it does to him.

Apple's releasing the compiler and the standard libraries for Linux.

This is clearly discrimination based on race.

Concorde was profitable for British Airways on the trans-atlantic routes it typically operated on,
I don't call anything profitable until it makes back its development costs. Concorde never came close to doing that.
