Be, OpenDoc, P & S and...

If anyone feels nostalgic enough for a download, fire up Virtual Box and 
have your own Be OS running now - courtesy of the open source version,

As interesting as Swift is, given this long history I can't help but 
think we'll want to see some commitment from Apple over time before 
smart devs will commit everything they have to it.

Then again, the smart devs making money are mostly making cross-platform 
apps, where Swift can't help them (no doubt very much the point).
