The abbreviation "ns" is not directly mentioned in the provided context from the WWDC sessions. However, if you are referring to "NS" as it is commonly used in Apple's frameworks, it typically stands for "NextStep," which is a reference to the NeXTSTEP operating system that was developed by NeXT, the company Steve Jobs founded after leaving Apple. Many of Apple's foundational frameworks, such as Foundation and AppKit, have their roots in NeXTSTEP, and thus the "NS" prefix is used in many class names (e.g., NSString, NSArray).
If you have any specific questions about the content presented at WWDC, feel free to ask!
