Apple launches Swift developer blog


This new blog will bring you a behind-the-scenes look into the design of the Swift language by the engineers who created it, in addition to the latest news and hints to turn you into a productive Swift programmer.

Apple is not know for blogging about anything, much less "behind-the-scenes" stuff. This is a pretty interesting outreach effort to get developers interested in Apple's new programming language. The blog is a part of a larger public site on Apple's developer website.

Swift was announced at WWDC this year as a new system for developing apps for iOS and OS X.

It will be interesting to see future posts, but I'll guess this might be geared more towards new or casual Apple developers. From the reaction at WWDC, current developers for the most part seem eager to jump on board.
