Probably the most amazing thing that was introduced today is the Swift 2.0 programming language that will be Open Source and available for Linux, Mac OS X, and iOS operating systems. For those of you who are not in the loop, we can tell you that Swift is an innovative new programming language designed by Apple for its OS X and iOS operating system, providing a concise yet expressive syntax that lets developers build lightning-fast apps. Swift makes writing code easy as pie.
