I often hear the argument that "Swift is changing too fast, let's wait until it settles down" but the changes so far have really been minute. It's not even a factor at all for us.
Taking our app (40 kloc) and our SDK (4 kloc) from 1.2 to 2 took us less than 3 hours. Almost all changes were correctly migrated by the built in migration tool.
The Bro app couldn't possibly take more than 15 minutes.
- sandofsky 11y agoConsidering the talk didn't show any screenshots, describe all the specifications, or even provide a line count, where are you getting 15 minutes from?
- Grustaf 11y agoFrom the fact that the app is a clone of Yo.
- sandofsky 11y agoIt isn't a clone of "yo." It's based on it. It has a superset of its features. I'd go into detail, but my point is your tone of authority when you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
- Grustaf 11y agoI'm sorry about my tone, but my point is that even our sprawling app was converted almost automatically. The breaking changes are very few, and even fewer of them require any action on the part of the developer (the only exception I can think of is error handling). It can't possibly take a week to migrate Yo, unless you spent months writing it.
