Swift is coming, Swift is coming

A Wired article about Swift coming to the server, particularly 
after the imminent open-sourcing, that also mentions D as an 
alternative, especially since it's written by the same guy who 
wrote about D for Wired last year:

Will be interesting to see how Swift does, a good natural 
experiment for those pushing D to focus on one niche before 
expanding, as Swift is doing really well on one of the most 
important development platforms today, iOS, before expanding onto 
the server.  Of course, Apple is unlikely to really push it on 
the server, other than open-sourcing and accepting patches, so 
they have a built-in excuse if it doesn't do well. ;)
