Comment on Concurrency in Swift: One possible approach

Must be crazy for Apple to have such an influencing voice on Swift and LLVM working for its archenemy

Google's paying Apple billions per year and has one of it's senior software architects helping improve their core development language.

I'd say crazy like a fox!

Not only that, Apple is apparently responsible for 50% of the mobile ad revenue Google pulls in.

What makes you think they are archenemies? Android became the Windows to iOS. Someone was going to fill in that gap that Apple tends to leave open. Probably better that it’s Google than Microsoft. The world got another major OS.

Nah, I have fond memories of when it was all against MS Goliath. Common enemy, etc.

Apple and Google made a great partnership.

It's now 2017 and iCloud/web services still kind of suck while Apple continues to make the best OS and hardware (IMO, of course). We used to be able to have both.
