Speaking as somebody who has no idea what X..<Y means, I assume it means "start from X and carry on for as long as you are less-than Y"? Is that correct? I won

I wonder what somebody who had no idea about X++ would guess it meant? Based on my daily conversations, if I didn't know already, I would guess it means "variable X has done a good job and deserves some IRC karma"...
- dstanko 11y agoWhat's an IRC? What's a variable? :) Look, don't get me wrong, I applaud the intent to make the language easy for total beginners. I argue that it's a longer stretch to understand ..< operator than ++. Arguments like people who never programmed before should be able to use it are great, but one should consider those in the context of the entire grammar, not just one operator. In my opinion Swift does not shine here, regardless what Apple says.
