Apple never said anything about "world domination" outside their ecosystem.

I guess you never looked into Kubernetes and their blobs of generated code to work around Go's weaknesses.

It was Chris Lattner that used the phrase "world domination" and would even clarify that although it sounded like a joke, he was fairly serious about it.

His influence on Swift's stewardship ended the day he decided to leave Apple.

i think the day he left was also the day swift lost its focus.

Swift focus is quite clear, replace C, C++ and Objective-C on Apple ecosystem, it is even stated on its official documentation.

As such it should provide comparable level of flexibility, tooling and developer power.

Anything else isn't part of swift focus.

Indeed i haven't ( although i've heard about it).

However i have yet to see any swift codebase of comparable complexity. So, the jury is still out on which language enable the largest scale.
