Behold Swift. The new programing language from Apple for iOS

I love the playground with its Bret Victor-style approach. I'm downloading Xcode 6 beta now to start playing with it. Now we just need a similar IDE for web development (maybe NoFlo?).

Where are you downloading it from?
Louis-André Labadie, over 9 years ago
There is an IDE being built with this philosophy, currently.
It's still early in the making, but you should take a look at Light Table :)

Light Table will at some point in the future have this...it doesn't as of now.
Can you run Xcode 6 alongside Xcode 5 or are you only allowed to run one version of Xcode at a time?

I believe there is no problem having them installed together.
I have them both right now.

When you say cross platform you mean windows-mac? You can code for OS X and iOS with Swift.

Wanted to shout out loud when I saw the Bret Victor inspired playground. His "Inventing on Principle" talk shook up my perception of creating with code, and the rest of his research has left such an impact on me I noted the day I discovered his work in my journal. I consider him something of a prophet in our field — against the grain, visionary, yet solitary/singular/independent.
Also interesting: he used to work at Apple, but can't talk about the prototypes he worked on that never saw the light of day.

+1 for Bret Victor. The guy's a genius; really happy to see some of his ideas coming to light.
Super excited for this and can't wait to try it. I love that:
The only downside is that this isn't cross-platform. I can live with that for now.
