I have no illusions about the amount of effort and investment necessary to change technology stacks. Carbon was only officially deprecated in OS X 10.8. To speak of the death of technology is only to acknowledge that it is mortal.

My claim isn't that everything will be rewritten in Swift—far from it. Instead, the article is an exploration of what it would mean for Swift to evolve beyond the constraints of Objective-C & Cocoa interoperability, and how that may occur as Swift gains momentum.
