Yay!! Someone else who is not drinking the Cool-Aid. I have decades of experience in a wide
variety of technologies, languages, and tools, have written courses and books on taught C++,
Python, Smalltalk, and many others, and go pretty deeply into the languages I use.
Swift is an abomination. It seems to have every feature found in any language that ever existed.
It heinously large and complex. I can’t even figure out how to use variables. Or are they constants.
Or references. Or whatever you want them to be? It’s horrible enough for very knowledgeable
and experienced developers to deal with, I can’t imagine how even a mid-level programmer
is going to get their heads around this and use it productively. Very scary.
