Apple's Swift programming language has faced criticism for its governance structure and community engagement. The language, developed by Apple, has been criticized for being "strangled" before the public can access it, leading to odd interactions with the community.

However, Apple has also taken steps towards a more transparent and inclusive governance model, borrowing ideas from the Rust programming language's specialized steering groups.
