Apple announced a new programming language yesterday at its yearly developer conference. With improvements in speed and ease of development, the new language aims to replace Objective C, Apple's previous language of choice.

As usual, software development in the new language is limited to the company's XCode programming IDE available for no cost in OS X.

Well, actually Apple and Google interests are different. Google usually releases more open-source
and did Android with more vendors, to get market share. If they were in the position of Apple,
they would probably do the same, who knows.
