So that guy is right in that it's still just as bad as a walled garden with swift as anything else from Apple. I've never been a fan of Apple but I dislike it less now that Steve Jobs is gone. I think that it has a large portion of the market though so it's important to target for something that's cross platform. However it would be bad to go chasing some random Apple language instead of focusing more on what the next logical step for improving the runtime is. There are a lot of companies using AIR in serious ways for gaming and plenty of other companies doing flex and AIR and some mix still. So I think Adobe still has plenty of reasons to keep improving the runtime so your post is a good thing.

Swift is an brand new experiment, and you guys are acting like brainwashed iSheep. Go download xcode and get off my Adobe AIR forums." I don't know whether jeffward is from Adobe or not, but he claims the Adobe AIR forums are his own. A predictable answer, but unexpected attitude. What can I say, feel so sad and frustrated : ( I'll shut myself up on this topic.
