I think the problem it solves is developer PR with Objective C, which looks like absolute hell the first time you see it. Swift looks like a sleek scripting language.

I never understood this point of view. The first time I saw it, I was like, "Brackets. That's slightly different than I'm used to. They look like arrays or something. Oh well. It seems to work." And from then on it was a non-issue. Why do developers get so hung up on this?

  All the extra symbols did make ObjC more laborious to read and write. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Objective-C [] over the :: and <> overload of C++, imo

      I prefer the :: and <> overload of C++, than having to type @ everywhere.

  I'd think most people would agree that infix notation is far easier to read and write than the Polish-like bracket notation.
