My local dive bar can serve me burgers whether it has a customer base of 1.000 or 1.000.000. A social network, however, cannot function without hundreds of millions of users. Otherwise it's an anti-social network.
As a result I can post my video to DailyMotion instead of YouTube but how am I going to build a following without engaging with Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter?
These networks require mass user engagement to be effective which precludes a myriad of competition. I don't think breaking these companies up as Elizabeth Warren suggested is the correct solution because it fundamentally handicaps their ability to function. But I think there does need to be regulation around how they do business which sadly does not exist.
They’re not mutually exclusive but the main reason that Swift is so performant is because it’s a compiled language rather than an interpreted language like JS. To support live reloading with a compiled language you would either need to support live compilation and re-deployment (difficult) or treat Swift as a scripting language (redundant).
