Apple launches Swift blog to keep developers up to date on the new language
Apple has launched a new blog focused on their new Swift programming language. At the moment, there are two posts to the blog. The first is a welcome post. The second deals with Swift's compatibility with current apps, source code, and more. From Swift blog:
This new blog will bring you a behind-the-scenes look into the design of the Swift language by the engineers who created it, in addition to the latest news and hints to turn you into a productive Swift programmer.
Swift was originally unveiled at WWDC 2014, and is billed as Objective-C without the C. Apple hopes that Swift is a more accessible language than Objective-C, and one that both new and veteran developers can learn fairly easily.

Will check out the Swift blog ASAP. But so far, Swift lives up to its hype. It's easy to pick up if you already know C++ or Objective-C, and it appears to be simple enough for newbies to learn quickly.
Especially with Xcode 6 "sandboxes." Just type Swift code snippets into a blank sandbox window and you see results. No need to build an app just to fiddle with Swift. That removes an enormous barrier for first-timers.
