> So for example, their new UI framework is called SwiftUI which builds off the swift legacy and logo and the emotion of being faster therefore better

I mean the pun is obvious, but a swift is a kind of bird.

I specifically think it's a bad idea to name things "fast", because history will catch up to you and it might not be fast anymore, or it might be unsafe - and then what will you call the next thing?

Actually, this happened in Swift. -Ounchecked (no bounds checks) was originally "-Ofast", but thankfully they changed it.
