The official doc says:
Swift. Fruit-flavored OCaml! https://reasonml.github.io/docs/en/what-and-why
I want to know why before I can quote it.
I didn't write the words, but I'd guess that it's because Swift was developed at Apple (named after a fruit) and is stylistically similar to Reason/OCaml in many ways.
I don't know why that would be -- Swift is a language which is not very similar to OCaml at all, even if it has some OCaml flavoring with the type inference and discriminated unions
@ubsan I guess we consider it a spiritual descendent of OCaml, by way of Scala.
I think this issue can be closed, @shineli-da ?
Yeah sure. Thank you all.
Or maybe it's Camel flavored fruit?
