I agree that it feels like the language maintainers are backed into corners and cannot correct old mistakes.
Which feels strange coming from Apple. Google showed up to use this with Go, write a tool that updates the code from version "x" to version "y" instead of being beholden to source compatibility issues in situations like this.
- zepto 6y agoXCode has had code updating for years.
- myko 6y agoTrue, it has something like that (which works to varying levels of success depending on the project). The excuse for not fixing weird syntax oddities like this though is breaking source compatibility, which my point was tooling should solve. Essentially the tooling in the Apple ecosystem is rough to work with and feels poorly thought out - it feels like the teams work independently and then mash their stuff together right before go live.
- zepto 6y agoTrue, but compared to what? Everyone else seems just as bad in that regard.
