By July 2013, Lattner noted that the new Swift project had become "major focus for the Apple Developer Tools group." It remained a secret to the public for the next year. The Swift language and Xcode 6 improvements were shown at Monday's keynote session for WWDC 2014. http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/06/04/apples-top-secret-swift-language-grew-from-work-to-sustain-objective-c-which-it-now-aims-to-replace -- Niraj Title Comments By Summer of 2010, Chris Lattner began working on a new programming language that summer, and a year later was joined by "a few other (amazing) people."
