[swift-evolution] Update on the Swift Project Lead

[Guillaume DIDIER]

Chris, thanks for all the huge work you made Chris, from LLVM, to Swift.org <http://swift.org/> going through Clang and Xcode and all those stuffs I don’t know of.

Good luck for what comes next, and continue to change the world, little piece by little piece.

When we made Swift open source and launched Swift.org we put a lot of effort into defining a strong community structure.  This structure has enabled Apple and the amazingly vibrant Swift community to work together to evolve Swift into a powerful, mature language powering software used by hundreds of millions of people.

This recognizes the incredible effort he has already been putting into the project, and reflects a decision I’ve made to leave Apple later this month to pursue an opportunity in another space.  This decision wasn't made lightly, and I want you all to know that I’m still completely committed to Swift.  I plan to remain an active member of the Swift Core Team, as well as a contributor to the swift-evolution mailing list.

Apple is a truly amazing place to be able to assemble the skills, imagination, and discipline to pull something like this off.  Swift is in great shape today, and Swift 4 will be a really strong release with Ted as the Project Lead.

Ted and I wanted to let you know what is happening as a part of our commitment to keeping the structure of Swift.org transparent to our community.

It’s probably the nicest platform to develop for now, and through open-source those projects have had huge impacts in all kinds of other areas, too. Thank you very much for all the years of work you’ve put in to make that happen, and best of luck for the future!
