Swift is great language and an enormous leap forward in the apple-sphere. I'd like to see a bigger investment in JavaScript everywhere. I'd like to see apple make a push to allow writing 100% javascript apps for iOS and mac. I think it could be a huge differentiator for iOS and Mac development and it would bring to Apple the largest developer base out there.

Starting with OS X Yosemite, you can use JavaScript for writing Mac apps and scripts. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/releasenotes/Interap...

Using JS for automation is a great start. I don't think they have a way to build a JS app that leverages the full capabilities of either Mac or iOS yet.

You can write full OS X apps in JavaScript:

JavaScript bridging works on iOS too!

I will be happy without that "largest developer base" brought to iOS. Anyone whos thinks Javascript it the best language ever deserves to keep programming in it.

The 'best' language is subjective. There are many apps where JavaScript could be one of many 'best' choices and some where it certainly couldn't be. Either way, you don't have the choice today.
