Swift has no traced garbage collector which means you cannot represent circular data structure/references. Also swift support for interfaces (protocol) is sub-p

  > Also swift support for interfaces (protocol) is sub-par with today standards interesting, what could be added/changed to make it better?

    No support for default implementation methods. No support for generics in protocol. There might be workarounds but for a newcomer, this is a red flag of reinventing a basic and universal construct (interfaces) in a sub-par one, this show a dangerous mentality from the swift vm devs, what else did they wrongfully reinvent in a sub-par way?

      There is support for default implementation method in protocol for a while now. Generics are supported through associated types.

      As the other commenter pointed out, default implementations (with genetic constraints!) are supported, they actually my favourite swift feature.
