WWDC 2014 keynote just ended, and here's the new things:

http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/

"Huge for developers.
Massive for everyone else."

http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/

"Every bit as powerful as it looks."

"Swift is an innovative new programming language for Cocoa and Cocoa Touch.
Writing code is interactive and fun, the syntax is concise yet expressive, and apps run lightning-fast.
Swift is ready for your next iOS and OS X project � or for addition into your current app � because Swift code works side-by-side with Objective-C."

Finally OS X is getting with it. It's about time they start giving it the new look. It's a good OS, but it's not worth paying $600 more that any sane person would pay.

I like how the messenger works in tandem with your iPhone or whatever.
Would make for much easier texting to the parents.

Swift looks like Objective C raped JavaScript and they had a disgusting baby.

i dont like the look of OS X at all
it seems like apple is just playing catch up with the dumb "flat and minimalist EVERYTHING" fad

Does anyone else absolutely hate any scripting language that doesn't use ;'s?

It looks overcomplicated. Can't even get an idea what this code is supposed to do.
