Audio systems too. 60fps video has a hard limit of 16.66ms per frame. Real
time audio needs 3ms buffers, imo, but can be less strict depending on the
application.

I think that Swift can become the first serious alternative to C++ for game
development and creative coding. For all platforms, not just Avalon (the
Isle of Apples, wokka wokka). If Swift becomes a mark-sweep GC language I'm
going to get very angry and abandon my work from the last two months:
