None of it is the same thing, outside of linux, if you are being honest. You can't run a macOS script in web production. period. end of story. So with all platforms, sans linux proper, we resort to funny business to get things working locally and then do it different when it comes time to deploy. What are we doing? Just use linux... or MSFT/.net as it were.

The funny thing in all of this is that Apple have nothing to share with the rest of the world, sans swift. They got the underdog sympathy and have made a mockery of all who elevated them to their current status. That is, they have given JACK SHIT back to those who made them who they are.

In which way transitioning to from full closed source to native POSIX implementation and (10 years after) developing swift as FOSS is a bad/disrespectful trajectory in you opinion?

Programming languages that are popular are transitioning to FOSS (even MS is doing it). Proprietary programming cannot succeed in today's crowded ecosystem. If swift was closed source but free to nobody would use it unlike 20 years ago. So swift being OSS is the only decision.

If you're using Nginx, MySQL etc for software and Bash3, Python etc for scripting then there's not linux or Apple specific.
