Let's start speculating what he might do instead. I have a hunch that this might pursue some Bret Victor-esque product maybe something like Swift Playgrounds for the iPad but less educational and more dev oriented. But I'm basing that on relatively nothing.

I hear he is going to work at an incubator started by the guy who sold the airline booking aggregator Aviato to a major airline in 2008.

Can't wait for the next season! :)

[bluetwo]

Same!

He's joining Mozilla to fix Rust.

[amenod]

Care to elaborate what needs fixing there?

[emmelaich]

Probably a joke. We don't get too much levity here. Might be hard to spot when it happens.

[adamnemecek]

The joke is that the creator of Rust is now working on Swift.

[bsaul]

Didn't know that. Thanks for lifting my spirits !

[sdegutis]

If my understanding of the universe is correct, he's going to join a really high paying start-up gig working on a "revolutionary" new email app that's basically slightly cooler than what we already have now, and then Apple will acquire them in 3 years, and he'll get a big payout, and then retire, which means start his own start up making a revolutionary new iOS app for teaching kids to code.

[adamnemecek]

That doesn't seem to be his style. He's been doing developer tools for a while now and I can't imagine that he'd be switching. And I think that he has better options than an email startup. LLVM is one of the most important software projects ever.

He's started and incubated it to what most considers as success. What's left to do is more research and evolution.

VP of Autopilot Software at Tesla

[josephpmay]

Just wild speculation backed by absolutely nothing, but it would be pretty interesting if he joined Andy Rubin's startup. It's attracting some really excellent talent.

Just saw that he is joining Tesla as VP Autopilot Software.
