What is closure in Swift? Is it similar to callback in Javascript?

Why does Google have so many different (and overlapping) JavaScript projects?

  • Google created both Google Web Toolkit and the Dart language to avoid writing in Javascript. Then they have AngularJS and componentJS and Polymer for creating applications in Javascript. It seems like a bit much... Update: Now they're working on another version of AngularJS and also on another Javascript variant, AtScript! (They also have the V8 engine and Closure compiler to make  Javascript run faster, but that's understandable.)

Well, given that: Google hires pretty smart engineers, many of whom are capable and interested in building their own language/framework/toolset to tackle the deficiencies of JavaScript and the browser, There are many customers, internal and external, who have real-world use cases for these technologies, Much of Google's bread and butter are on the web, Google encourages experimentation and engineering autonomy, Putting out an open source, technically sophisticated project is an awesome recruiting tool, Google has a lot of money, Then it makes perfect sense for Google to take the shotgun approach to shaping the web for the next decade and more.
