It’s pleasant to use, that’s the main thing about Swift.
A very Apple thing to be honest, so just like most of the Apple products it’s very good in few thing and good enough in others and probably nothing is completely new.
The overall experience is pleasant. Apple is building just as pleasant tooling around it, Swift Playgrounds is amazing for example.
Newbies can learn coding by doing some exercises disguised as games but that’s not what’s amazing, what’s amazing is that you can make full apps with all the libraries and Swift packages and SwiftUI. Apple did good job hiding the boilerplate away, did good job removing the decision making about the project file structure and created an intuitive interface where you can just code without worrying about anything else.
In 2020s, Swift is probably the only language with tooling that lets you just code your ideas and deploy without dealing with anything else. Like creating a Word document and writing your thoughts down straightforward.
I don’t know if submitting from Swift Playgrounds to the AppStore has been released but the beta I was trying last month had this functionality. From idea to market, start to finish integration.
