A language with no promises of stability counts as a "toy" in my mind (I understand that this can be subjective, just providing my opinion).
Say what you want about Objective-C, but at least Apple stuck with basic syntax decisions.
- interpol_p 10y agoThat kind of oversimplifies things. From my reading of the Swift mailing list, many things you would consider "basic syntax decisions" will have a profound impact on the stabilisation of the ABI. Migrating is a pain, but I'll take the Swift migration pain over the maintenance of old Objective-C code any day. Even on large projects.
