I'm just reading Swift code here and there and it's my personal
opinion that 75% of the Swift code I read is bad code.

By bad code, I mean code suffering from the "only God and I know what
I'm doing" syndrome.

The same syndrome that you can find in software using Cocoa bindings.
The same software that is terrible to maintain, even more when you're
not the original author (and you're obviously not God).

Why do Swift developers think it's mandatory to write code that is illegible?
Is Swift mainly used by freelances or consultants that will not have
to maintain the software?
