Swift is nice although it doesn’t have any advantages for someone who knows objc. Plus for interoperability you still need to know c/objective c anyway, and then why bother.
I guess Swift is popular with JavaScript developers, coming from web dev.

- valuearb 9y agoSwift is the exact opposite of Javascript and if used correctly created much higher quality code than a Objective C. But the toolchain is weak and XCode 9 is a big step backwards.
- agildehaus 9y agoNo advantages? Conciseness, null safety, no header files, cleaner syntax, no @property (readonly, getter=blah) nonsense. Why bother? Swift is the blessed language on Apple platforms going forward and ObjC is not.
