It didn't take long for Apple (http://mashable.com/category/Apple?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=) developers to embrace the company's new programming language, Swift (http://mashable.com/2014/06/03/developer-reactions-wwdc?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=). A Flappy Bird (http://mashable.com/2014/02/09/flappy-bird-down?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=) clone game has already been created with it.

Apple developer Nate Murray built FlappySwift to show how easy it is to use the programming language. He uploaded the iOS 8-compatible game to GitHub (https://github.com/fullstackio/FlappySwift), a forum site for software developers.
