Yeah. Worth noting too that libdispatch has been open source since it was released 10 years ago. I compiled and used it on Linux before Swift was out.

Sure. The solution to not wanting to be dependent on Apple's software is .. to use more of Apples software.

Not really rational.

It’s open source. You can use it on Linux rather than being tied to MacOS or iOS. What’s your objection?

(Hint: its koolaid, kid.)
