What’s the value of the Haskell code? It’s a great language but not really supported on iOS. Would love for it to be.
Back to the one idiomatic C example. The few places where it’s terse does not make up for the many other places where it’s not. You also have memory management with malloc for additional code. If you compare nontrivial code, Swift is a more modern, safer, less verbose, etc way to develop iOS apps vs Objective C.
- binaryapparatus 9y agoSwift wants to be much more than just iOS specific language so it is fair to compare its pros and cons with other general purpose languages. If you look at iOS only then there is not much to compare to, just ObjC and few JS abominations. Staying iOS specific is not what Swift wants to be.
