Swift for new stuff.

• davismwfl 11y ago
  What do you feel is the primary or greatest benefits of using swift? I get it is the new way but is it that much more productive, easier, flexible or?

    Safety and builtin encapsulation. No more included properties in inplementation files. :-).

      Not to mention verbosity, and ease of reading and writing. Its syntax is so much less dated. As far as programming languages go, Obj-C definitely "feels" as old as it is.

        I prefer Objective-C syntax ;-) that's why I chose to learn it after Ruby's "odd" syntax and quirkiness.

    Besides a better syntax, and more verbose, what is the win here? Functional Programming could be it. A different programming paradigm for productivity.
