As others have surmised, the goal for the Swift Foundation project is to provide a pure-swift implementation (which reuses widely-available C libraries) of important Foundation APIs that do *not* depend on the Objective-C runtime. Reusing GNUstep, Cocotron, or even Apple’s existing Foundation implementation didn’t allow us to achieve those goals, so we didn’t go with those approaches.
