Compile times and binary sizes are still issues although. There is a lot more optimization work left to do. It's a C++ v2 for a lot of the decisions they have made. And it doesn't scale that well when you have large code bases compared to other languages.
Something like a javascript / flutter style hot reload really accelerates your dev cycle and I wish Swift had it too.
- kitsunesoba 8y agoI maintain a non-trivial Swift app and while compile times are indeed longer than those of Objective-C, it’s nothing insurmountable and has improved a lot on the past couple of years. To me it’s more than worth the trade with all I gain with Swift compared to Obj-C. Hot reload is nice but to me is far from a dealbreaker, especially after your app is past the phase where you’re writing a bunch of new UI.
