You do realise that link is completely unrelated to what Apple is doing, right?

EDIT: Nevermind, my mistake. I thought the comment was about Apple was making their own language like Google did with Go, not Go! already existing as a language

Yeah, that's the point. There's already a programming language called Swift but Apple is using the name anyway.

That's precisely his point. There was already a pre-existing (but little-known) language called Go when Google announced theirs.

Gotcha, my mistake. I thought the point was Apple was making their own language like Google did with Go and he was just linking the wrong language.
