I think it depends what you're used to. I used to be a Scala programmer, then I moved to JS.
At the moment I'm working in Objective-C, and I literally just wrote a loop to filter an array and form a new array with the results like the one in the example - and god I wish there was an as straight-forward, easily understandable functional way in Obj-C to do it like in the Swift example.
I miss these 'nice' things - I don't need the fully functional Haskell package, but I like having some of the nice things Swift has, just because I got used to them and can actually write and read them better, and it is definitely more elegant!

- pjmlp 10y agoYou mean something like: a := #(1 2 3 4 5). Transcript show: (a printString); cr. b := a select: [:x | x \\ 2 == 0]. Transcript show: (b printString); cr. Sadly Objective-C isn't really Smalltalk.
