Chris Lattner, the senior director of Apple’s Developer Tools Department, departed the company in January to go to work for Tesla. However, he’s bidding adieu to the electric car company.
Heannounced his departure from the company in an impromptu post to Twitter. He said: “Turns out that Tesla isn’t a good fit for me after all. I’m interested to hear about interesting roles for a seasoned engineering leader!”
Lattner was the leading figure behind Apple’s Swift programming language. However, when going to Tesla, he said that says he’ll “remain an active member of the Swift Core Team, as well as a contributor to the swift-evolution mailing list. Ted Kremenek will be taking over for me as ‘Project Lead’ for the Swift project, managing the administrative and leadership responsibility for Swift.org.”
