This article looks at how modern programming languages are governed and explains how Swift's dictatorial structure is uniquely terrible. Swift was originally a passion project by Chris Lattner, the senior director of dev tooling at Apple. The language has evolved into a complicated mess - it now has 217 keywords. While Apple is unambiguously the dictator of Swift, its incentives put the company at odds with the open-source community. The company's updates to the language show how much it doesn't care about the community.
