pjmlp on Sept 26, 2016 | parent | context | favorite | on: IBM says Swift is ready for the enterprise

Not sure, but they are already making J9 modular and using its JIT and GC for their own implementations of Python and Ruby.

So I would say IBM is scattering their eggs across multiple baskets.

Indeed. IBM is also investing a lot in Go by porting it to their hardware and OS primarily for blockchain stuff.

I think it is more of thing that Swift has more interesting Client/Server/Mobile story than Java. Given that I do not see why IBM would not cut investments in Java.
