Early this morning, Google (Weibo) released a new design language, material, at the I/O conference. Apple also released a new programming language, Swift, on WWDC more than 20 days ago. The two tech giants have launched new languages at the annual developer conference, but the two are fundamentally different.
Material design is a new language, and Google plans to apply the design language to all platforms, such as Android, Chrome OS and Web pages.
Google's latest release of the Android L system adopted the material design language, which is an important step for Google to solve the problem of fragmentation, will be unified including mobile phones, tablets, notebooks and web-based design style.
Google said: "Material design is beautiful and bold, because clean layout and layout simple and easy to understand." ”
Unlike material design, the Swift language is a new programming language for iOS and OS X applications that is faster, easier, more efficient, more secure, and compatible with Object-c.
The swift language focuses on the shadows of many other high-level languages, integrating their advantages. Its syntax is closer to natural language, making the process of programming easier. These changes have further lowered the app development threshold on Apple's platform and continued Apple's longstanding use of apps to solve all of the problems that will be an important part of Apple's ecosystem.
As you can see from above, Swift is more like Google's go language if it has to connect Swift with Google. Five years ago, Google developed a programming language called go. With its simple features and optimized concurrency, the Go language is a popular new programming language for developers, especially for cloud computing platforms.
Foreign developers said: "I am using swift, my eyes will always emerge from the Google go language." Go has good concurrency, and it's nice to see that Apple has some of the features of go. Now, however, it is only the beginning of the new Apple language. ”
As can be seen, Apple released the Swift language is a programming language, is to reduce the developer's threshold, Google released the material design language, more strictly speaking, more like a set of interface design standards, the two have a difference.
