In 2014,
the enterprise announced Swift - a programing language that reached global
coders as open-source at the end of last year. According to 9to5mac unconfirmed rumors claim that
Google itself considers adopting Swift as a "first class" language
for its Android platform.
Java is
currently the only first-class programming language used on Android, and
insiders familiar with the matter say that Java will not be replaced by Swift.
However, Google is looking for alternative premium programming languages as its
litigation with Oracle over the permitted Java uses drags on.
Swift
already got commended for its lighting fast speed, and the fact that it is open
source means that Google has free reign to use it how it sees fit. One
additional advantage of using Swift could be that quite a few apps could reach
Google's ecosystem first. At the moment, Apple tends to launch apps faster due
to the quickness of programming in Swift.
At the
end of 2015, a reported meeting between representatives of Uber, Facebook and
Google took place in London. The three companies discussed the ways in which
Swift could benefit them, with Uber and Facebook considering the possibility to
make the open source programming language "more central to
operations."
Another
modification that Google would have to make is rewriting its standard library
in Swift to make sure that the language gets support in both SDKs and APIs. The
problems could arise in low-level Android APIs, which are based on C++. Swift
cannot be currently bridged to the general-purpose programming language.
