Seems lovely but headed in a Scala-like bloated direction. The "too complex" type issues were really bad last I tried.
And one of my biggest gripes is the way you can extend things from anywhere else, easy to cause a mess.
- metaltyphoon 2y agoSwift is getting out of hand after Chris left and Swift UI was introduced. The language has over 210 keywords… thats crazy
- saagarjha 2y agoKeywords are a bad way to judge a language.
- metaltyphoon 2y agoNot saying you are wrong but tell me why it would be a good idea to have hundreds of keywords for a programming language.
- saagarjha 2y agoBecause not having hundreds of keywords means that either you have some parts of the language that are "this has a special meaning please don't touch" (double underscores are good enough, right guys?) or "we reassigned 10 different things to the same keyword to keep the number low" (ahem, static).
- codr7 2y agoHm, I have to admit I have the same feeling. But it is a shame, because many of the ideas are good imho.
