Thanks a lot for the answer, I had no idea what the situation was. I switched to BSD like 15 years ago and things are done differently: basically, you can expect to get the thing on the announced date (whether that's always a good thing remains debatable, of course).

Even though it's pretty clear that Swift is indeed replacing Objective-C which was its, err, objective), who still gives any credit to the infamous TIOBE index?

Honestly wondering: there are millions of Linux distributions out there, and we don't get this kind of news for all of them. I know Fedora is one of the biggest in terms of number of users, but still... Besides, this sounds a bit like a non-event: the news doesn't announce anything unexpected, only that things are going according to plan.

I've been using FreeBSD (plus NetBSD and OpenBSD before that) for quite some time on my personal servers as well as on my desktop and I must say I entirely agree with this: FreeBSD isn't just a server OS, it also really shines on the desktop. It's very easy to set up and keep up to date, the ports/packages system is rock solid, hardware support is very good... I also find running FreeBSD less demanding than Linux, Windows or OSX, with a lot less peculiarities to keep in mind. Also, hard-won knowledge doesn't get obsoleted as quickly as with other systems.

Why is the category Python while the researcher says that coding is done in both C++ and Python?
