Apple recently announced they are making Swift open source. I think since swift is more advanced then Lua and works along C languages like Lua it would be perfect for ROBLOX! You could build a simple compiler into the publish or save feature of studio. I think Swift would only have certain functions though that you could add like it could be more used for DataStore type things, HTTP request things and cross server stuff. Gameplay and programs just messing with brick properties(which is mostly what you do with Lua anyway) would still be done with RBX.Lua but if there was a RBX.Swift then making games that are more advanced would be so much easier since you can get advanced functions of C++ in short bits of code with Swift.

1. Apple sucks 2. They can't change the language or everyone would have to start from scratch. |

| If you read it it would be in addition to Lua. 2 That is your opinion. Apple is worth more than any company on the planet so how it "scks" I don't know. Other Han your opinion which is most likely based off of more personal opinions on product. |

| I think it's a good idea. It's much easier to use Swift than to use Lua (I know this because I have swift playgrounds). It should happen in the near future or at least have an option weither to enable swift or not. |

We should just add Taylor Swift in Studio.
[Oh whale.] |
