I believe it is a great thing that a wo oriented conference exists (no mater if it is because apple dropped wo sessions), but I also feel that would be nice if Apple as the 'owner' of WO showed some interest on it.
I feel sometimes I invest a lot of energy on something that has a blury future, and that fact makes getting people or clients hard to believe developing in wo is a good choice. Maybe if just Apple show some clear interst or a defined roadmap will be nice. Best regards, M.
