Wow. They're basically identical. Scala has a bit less boilerplate sometimes, but it's also older, so I guess Swift will get syntactical sugar to catch up in time.
- melling 10y agoNo, it's a lot like Groovy: http://glaforge.appspot.com/article/apple-s-swift-programming-language-inspired-by-groovy http://glaforge.appspot.com/article/apple-s-swift-programmin... No, it's a lot like C#: http://swiftcomparsion.qiniudn.com http://swiftcomparsion.qiniudn.com
- vorg 10y agoNeither Scala nor Apache Groovy are listed in the 8 languages Swift was influenced by on its Wikipedia page. That Groovy link was written by the Apache's Groovy PMC chairperson, and is more wishful thinking that fact.
- melling 10y agoYeah, I already knew what Wikipedia said. My point was that a lot of languages look similar. Scala might have influenced Swift. Zip you go to the author's blog, he says lists those languages and says many more that he doesn't name: http://nondot.org/sabre/ http://nondot.org/sabre/
