in some ways these complaints remind me of trying to pick up Haskell or Rust -- tooling isn't quite there, breaking changes all the time, outdated resources online. funny that Swift, another "weird" type-heavy language, has the same problems. i wonder if part of the IDE problem isn't to do with having the elaborate type system. it might make certain things easier but having to do inference could slow things down a lot. my dream is that someday Swift will be a mature, well-funded, "enterprisey" language that is also weird and functional. Something to join the ranks of F#.
