Swift- the new programming language from Apple shares a lot with Groovy, a JVM language.

Are there any ongoing work to use Swift to write code that run in a JVM?

Is anyone working on this?

Given the history, Microsoft is the type of company which would make acquisitions for a brand name rather than the technology.

Looking at the past, Microsoft has quite a bit to gain from such a deal than Apple, which already has a successful streaming and music distribution network alongside great hardware with the brand name.

Microsoft kept their Nokia deal silent for quite some time as well.

Also, to note that this acquisition news has not received any comments from Apple.

What do you think?
