There is a quote by Jim Jannard of Red in the documentary Side by Side: "digital wasn't paying enough respect to film". That is the feeling I get when programming Swift. I really wanted an improved Objective-C or at least something that was kept some of the same conventions (selector syntax). F-Script was interesting example of a language, but didn't really have the depth. I just cannot shake the feeling that the creators of Swift looked down on Objective-C like some of the Apple folks in 98ish when they tried to foist Java on us. Its hard to use a language when your pretty sure the the designers hated one of your favorite things. I'm programming in it daily and its uglier and has more syntax then it should. Its very much like my experience with Transact-SQL, I'll use it and gain as much proficiency as possible, but I really don't like programming in it.
