Combine is a awesome reactive framework my question is why is it an Apple only framework, Or will this be released on linux, It would make sense to have a reactive framework for the swift lanaguge that can be used accross the swift eco system.I thought swift was open sourced to benifit all and all platforms creating a libirary like this and then intergrating is with the reat of the closed source apple frmeworks is fine but then to not release this make its pointless to use when your server side will have use a different reactive framework which you then may as well use on the apple and ios side.Apple should be free to release what ever closed source frameworks they want but when you create a library that is used though out the standard library and other frameworks then that should be realesed on all platforms not just the ones the help apple share prices. The reasons apple gave to open source swift kind of become nothing more then marketing. Now I do want to say that combine is a different framework to others it really is or should be in the standard library, Apple has already done a geate job adding its support to their frameworks and I'm 100% sure over then next few years more and more code we write will depend on Combine (swifts reactive framework). So I want to make sure this is not a rant because apple did not release combine on linux but if you have a framework that will over time pretty much be used by every framework and thought out the standard library should not be kept for Apple only products.
