I cannot take this seriously. Even minor versions of Swift have breaking language changes and depredations. That tells me precisely it is too early for the enterprise.
- mikeash 10y agoThis should be greatly reduced now that Swift 3 is out. A big part of Swift 3 was getting all of the breaking changes over with so that they can maintain source compatibility from here. There will likely be some small breaking changes over the next year or so as they nail down bits they missed, but it'll be a lot less chaotic than what we saw with Swifts 1 and 2. I realize that "greatly reduced" may not be good enough for you, though. Perhaps next year even that will be done.

- AlexeyBrin 10y agoAny breaking changes in the JavaScript language in the last .. . 10 years or more ? On the other hand Swift had quite a few breaking changes in 2016.
