You can definitely find iOS/macOS developers who prefer objective-c, but they're in the minority. The vast majority would say that Swift is way, way more usable than Objective-C. Obj-C still has some advantages (dynamism being a big one) but for most tasks Swift makes developing both easier and more safe.
- kitsunesoba 6y agoComing from several years of writing Obj-C, Swift has certainly been a net benefit for me. Writing it well does require a bit of a shift in one's way of thinking (writing "Obj-C in Swift" is a recipe for pain) but I find that once that hurdle is cleared it's a very productive language to work with.
- nielsbot 6y agoWish they'd fix the "associated type issue" and the "a protocol isn't a type issue" tho... A little of Obj-C's dynamism would go a long way there.
