I don’t necessarily disagree with the article but I think the language is in a much but better place than it was a few years ago, with a few exceptions. As the author points out, Foundation and a bunch of frameworks and libraries are being open sourced and maintained by Apple and the Swift foundation which are all cross platform (including Windows and Linux).
The static concurrency checking stuff is cool on paper but has so far just introduced noise to our codebase so we’re not touching it until it cooks a little more.
I’m basically asking for the same thing I was 5 years ago though and the author touches on, fix the compiler issues.
Official Android support would be nice too but the community is filling the gap there.
I use Rust a little on the side and tooling, compiler messages and ecosystem are far ahead of Swift. Language wise I still prefer Swift for the work I do.
