Chris Lattner, the father of Swift, will leave Apple and join tesla and swiftlattner.

Chris Lattner, the father of the Swift programming language, announced in the swift-evolution mailing list that he will leave Apple by the end of this month and Ted Kremenek will take over from him as the leader in the Swift program. Tesla's official blog post later. We welcome Chris to join tesla and lead the autonomous driving team to accelerate the future development of driving technology.
Chris Lattner initiated the LLVM project while reading the blog in UIUC. Joined Apple in 2005 and launched the Clang project. In his efforts, Clang replaced gcc to become the default compiler for Mac OS, FreeBSD, and other platforms. LLVM has become the best backend choice for many new compilation projects. For example, Rust backend uses LLVM.
In July 2010, Chris began designing the Swift programming language and laid the basic architecture in one year. Later, he led another team to invest in Swift R & D. On April 9, June 2014, Apple officially announced the Swift language at WWDC. On July 6, December 3, 2015, Apple announced the open-source Swift.
