One thing that bugs me to this day is reading Swift code without an IDE can be an exercise in “let me build up a mountain of context first”, due to the way enums and types can get shortened.
It’s nice to write but a pain to review. Meanwhile if I read Rust or Go, it’s more or less what you see is what you get.
I do agree in general that it’s frustrating that Rust hasn’t kept up with some of Swift’s pushes, but then again that’s the difference when you have the richest company in the world involved.
For context, I’ve written many apps in Swift, deployed a backend in Vapor, and worked with teams who use the language. I always thought I’d get over it but it just never fully clicked.
