Similar for (roughly) "we ran one benchmark and can now say that swift is similar to java in performance and uses half the memory generally, for all things". No reference to the benchmark either.

In addition to reading Swift benchmark code, mixing unsafe C with Swift aren't complicated to learn and offer more performant. In contrast to Adobe AIR + C API (ANE).

The site owner asked us to replace the original URL you had with a static one in the hope of taking some strain off the web server, so we've done that. I hope that's ok.

That's not hard either, given the nature of both languages (native / compiled vs JVM). Yes I know Java can perform better in some situations.
