People at the WWDC showed enthusiasm; I'd hardly call this "coders" as if it encompassed the entire coding ecosystem.
I find it interesting, but a majority of what I'm reading from others indicates:
* It's interesting
* It feels like Go.
* It borrows heavily from Rust
but the biggest thing...
* It's better than Objective-C
But then, this is Wired.
- chaz72 12y agoYeah, maybe to Wired it makes sense to say "they should have just used Python or Ruby". No doubt those languages can be optimized just as well. Lol, why would that be hard?
- krisgee 12y ago>It's better than Objective-C This is pretty much the only thing we (programmers) at my work were talking about yesterday. The language itself is pretty neat but not really anything groundbreaking. The fact that you can code iOS without using Objective-C or busting down to the C++ level is really great news though.
- uvTwitch 12y agoI've been doing this (writing for iOS without using Objective C) for a long time now using Xamarin, so my reaction to the announcement was along the lines of "oh, that's cute."
