Like all the other thousands of languages with C based syntax.
> var x = "Hi" reminds me of Go's const types
Why does it remind you of Go and not of all the other languages that use 'var x = "Hi"' like JavaScript, ActionScript, C#, Scala, Kotlin?
> The ARC usage reminds me of Go's garbage collection
Why does it remind you of Go and not of all the other languages with garbage collection?

- jamra 12y agoIt reminds me of Go in what it omits from C. There are similarities. Go feels like a mix between python and C. I haven't gotten to Swift in a deep enough way, but it looks like it tried to tackle the same problems with the exception of concurrency. There are differences such as classes and generics in Swift. There are also similarities such as functions as first class citizens (or so it appears so from the closures section of the free book). All in all, it reminds me of Go just a bit. It doesn't remind me of all of those other languages that I do not know.
