Nobody who is a fan of what Windows offers has been sitting around waiting for Swift (or Objective-C before that). In the same way, nobody working with Apple technology was dreaming of the day C# was opened up. Moves like these play to the base, not the outsiders.

Apple has enough eager developers that they don’t need to be courting the ones who are playing hard to get. -- "Also . . . I can kill you with my brain." River Tam, Trash, Firefly
