Why is this platform not JavaScript based (so we can leverage the largest ecosystem in the world) or Python based or anything-else-that-exists based?

In other news, has Android killed iOS yet so we can stop worrying about Apple? Can't happen soon enough.



If you take a look at Swift, a lot of the different constructs are implemented similar to how they would be in languages like JS or Python.


I think that's my point. Why not JavaScript then?

The only reason I can see is vendor lock-in.
