I love Go and I like Swift. This site shows that they are not that different for simple coding. IMHO many Apple/NextStep APIs could use some more simplicity. Right now all these Next Step APIs are pretty verbose and I'm often wondering why simple things need so much API knowledge.

My experience is that the learning curve is steep but the payoff is large. The Apple Cocoa/AppKit/CF libs are hefty things to get started with, but man do they make some hard things easy once you get the hang of it. They also tend to push apps to behave more consistently, because people aren’t always reinventing the wheel for more complex UX.
