Every few years I revisit Swift to see if things have improved but the language is now even more complex with cryptic compiler errors and poor runtime error messages, long build times and slow iteration times. Xcode is still a horrible IDE and unfortunately JetBrains AppCode has since been discontinued, basically forcing using VS Code for development and Xcode to run/debug tests. It can finally do async/await but its async http requests were unstable/unusable on Linux and cross platform is a chore with littering macros like `#if canImport(FoundationNetworking)` everywhere. Used to think Swift was the future given the resources Apple could throw behind it, but at its current state after 10 years I no longer do. It will remain a mainstay thanks to the Apple ecosystem, but don't see its popularity extending far beyond that.
