With respect: I see otherwise, and I hope that you can eventually see it for yourself.

If that's not an example of being toxic, I don't know what would be. That kind of tone was awfully prevalent from OP.When you you actually decide that you are interested in Swift, and you learn why it is being used extensively for server side applications by many companies whose services you probably use (like Amazon), I might consider responding to you again.
Until then, good luck and have a great life.
Thanks. I would also suggest

I agree with the part about saying "Thanks", but the sentence
really sounds like a boss telling a clueless subordinate what to do. This might fly in the workplace (depending on the country and industry), but I think that on the forums, that would be a breach of forum etiquette. I think that saying something like "Can I ask you to post this on the Swift forums?"I would also suggest going to the Swift Forum and adding a post there to this thread:
That's like emotional blackmail.I guess Linux it is.
I have quite a few FreeBSD systems, and never said I would move any of their tasks to Linux.
Well, you're accusing me. When I at least have respect for the porting process, and don't treat people like I'm making demands. Even if I were paying someone to do something, I don't boss people around or treat them like how the OP is.With respect: I see otherwise, and I hope that you can eventually see it for yourself.
Yet, this same person shows a bossy tone.I just find it funny, that not one person who has responded to this thread has expressed interest in using Swift on FreeBSD (the actual question being asked), but all have tried to explain why someone else should spend energy on maintaining it.
Glad you are looking out for my career future. If I was worried about this from a CV standpoint, learning to use Linux, the dominant OS and Cloud hosting platform, would be way more valuable than being the maintainer of an open source port on FreeBSD.
However, it seems clear that there is no interest from this community. Great that people are super excited about explaining process and their their lack of interest in the product though.
I asked a question if there was interest in Swift on FreeBSD. I did not ask a question about how I could become the maintainer of a port, how ports get done
That was not the question I asked. Again, lots of great explanations about the ports process, and none expressing interest in Swift on FreeBSD.
If you are not interested in Swift on FreeBSD, why do you think it adds value to this thread to respond on topics not asked?
Not once did I ever suggest that anyone in this community should do anything other than express interest or lack there of in using Swift on FreeBSD. Not one single response to my post responded to the question I asked.
Not one.
That was not the question I asked. Again, lots of great explanations about the ports process, and none expressing interest in Swift on FreeBSD.
My original post asked a question "Is there interest?", and made some observations about the current state. I did not complain about anything. If you are not interested in Swift on FreeBSD, why do you think it adds value to this thread to respond on topics not asked?
Instead, I got people lecturing me on how the ports process here works, complaining that I was selfish for asking others to do a port, valuable career advice (from people with no knowledge of me at all), someone who pronounces what Apple will or will not do (with no evidence or support of his statement), and two people who specifically are not interested in having it happen (one who explained that even if it did happen it would have no value because it would be so incomplete that one would not be able to use it anyway).
All super helpful.
To be honest, I agree... and yet we all keep posting to it. I guess it's some kind of psychological pull - instead of simply getting up to have a beer, or even ignoring it completely, we keep beating this horse.This whole thread is bullshit.
clueless subordinate
etiquette
I wish … this would stop.
That's like emotional blackmail.
I have several Server Side Swift applications that I would love to host on my own systems, but without a FreeBSD port, I am stuck adding Linux boxes for them.
Swift, someone ported it to FreeBSD.
Without a porting process, a port doesn't happen.
clueless subordinate
Telling people the unwatch button exists? What's that?
I can't speak for astyle 's quote, but it was self-explanatory he was describing someone's behavior.Considering how something gets ported has everything to do with how something gets ported, telling lots of people, I didn't ask how it gets ported is disrespectful.
So, you admit you're being a jerk. If that hadn't happened, I could say, you're a jerk, and you would deny as the next person.Your psychological expertise and textual analysis skills should have triggered a sense of you being mistreated as if you're clueless.
admit you're being a jerk.
please don't put words in my mouth.
Again: stop putting words in my mouth. If you must go round in circles and read between the lines, please be correct about what's between.
you're the one twisting words here. No surprise to me of course.
I'm irritated at this thread.
… we keep beating this horse. …
I've repeatedly clearly said what the problem is,
… this drama …
If you have not yet seen it, Swift by Sundell is a great site for learning about Swift, as is TheSwiftDev.com. John Sundell has a great Swift Static Site generator that is really easy to use, while in contrast, Tibor ( the author from TheSwiftDev) has been developing Feather, a Swift-based CMS. Check them both out on Github (both have lots of interesting repos).Answering the OP question: Yes! I would love to see Swift ported and maintained on FreeBSD. I like the language very much and it would be wonderful to see it running on our favorite OS. Of course, it would be even greater to see also some sort of GUI library for it.
I went to GitHub and asked there too.
Thank you! I will check it out indeed!If you have not yet seen it, Swift by Sundell is a great site for learning about Swift, as is TheSwiftDev.com.
