I really love the Swift language. I think it is really nice to program in. When it is really good, it just is so satisfying. I can get that "ahh" feeling. I feel like it's this weird blend of Ruby, Haskell, Javascript, and some C# influence. And of course there is always Objective-C baggage lurking in the background. I agree with most of the comments on this thread. The governance of the language really is a problem. You really can't run two models on the same project at once. The incentives just always get screwed up. Better to just be honest about what's going on, and then everybody can work together. But sometimes that means that people need to start getting paid, and companies love to not pay money if they can avoid it. Also, Apple's tooling is just truly horrendous. It is just awful. I don't understand why they won't do anything about it. Xcode, there are some things that are nice about it, but compare it to really using a tool like IntelliJ IDEA well and Xcode just fails so hard. And certain UX problems have literally persisted for a decade, and Apple has not done anything about it. It really is kind of unconscionable that Apple does this to their developers. I know on some level I am being ungrateful, because there are mountains being moved behind the scenes by Xcode, and I really do appreciate that. And from watching WWDC talks, I know that there are some really good engineers at Apple that are trying to do the right thing. And some of it is just corporate BS that is unavoidable. But they really do need to get better. In any case, I hope that this update makes everybody's life better. When it is really nice, I think that Swift has some of the best developer ergonomics out there. That's just one person's opinion, of course.
