Our idea is to go further than traditional filesystems and databases by supporting document organization, structured documents, version control, rich undo/redo, and collaborative editing in a single framework. CoreObject allows apps to easily adopt all these features and create a coherent user experience, without each app reinventing the wheel in incomplete or incompatible ways.
I’m really excited about Swift. It’s along the lines of what I had hoped Apple was working on in secret. Having better support for types is great, although I’m slightly concerned that Swift is not dynamic enough.
