Android-Application developers can write in a language created in Apple

Swift - a programming language created by Apple. He brightened the life of app developers for iOS and OS X, allowing the products to make them lighter and easier to develop. In December 2015, Apple opened the source code of Swift under the free Apache 2.0 license. This was a strong impetus for the development of language. In the first place, it may allow the use of language to develop applications for different operating systems, for example, under Android. All this goes.

On GitHub first version of Swift has been published, which allows to compile applications for the mobile operating system from Google. It's not even an alpha version, and certainly it is difficult to use in the work, but the event itself is quite significant. Sooner or later, an application for Android, written in the Swift, will certainly appear, and it is possible, it's even become the norm.

Despite the fact that Android fans are often very hostile to any Apple product, the news is good for everyone. It's no secret that developers prefer iOS applications not only for the reason that the App Store is easier to make money, but also because of the fact that the process of creating applications is more enjoyable for them in the case of iOS. Using the Swift in the future will open up the possibility of iOS-app for Android and generally simplify the work of the creators of cross-platform applications.
