How is swift a javascript clone?
Objective c is insanely verbose.
- protomyth 7y agoHow is swift a javascript clone? They ditched the selector syntax and went to a Javascript / C++ like syntax. There were so many ways to keep the selector syntax, but they went conformist. Objective c is insanely verbose. well, no - Swift's call syntax actually results in the same or more characters: somePoint.moveBy(x: 2.0, y: 3.0) [somePoint moveByX: 2.0 y: 3.0]; somePoint.moveBy(x: 2.0, y: 3.0, z: 4.0) [somePoint moveByX: 2.0 y: 3.0 z: 4.0]; Swift benefited from some shortening of the method names that can be equally applied to Objective-C. Plus, why the whole split by a left parentheses and comma thing?
