Creator here. Glad people like it! I do have plans for slightly less useless projects in the future, but I did have a couple of reasons for building this particular project:
- I wanted to try out Swift and see how it felt in practice to build a reasonably-sized project in it - and to see if the Xcode Developer Preview was anywhere near up to the task. I also wanted to see how the Cocoa APIs were going to work with Swift.
- I had an existing Objective-C implementation that I could work from. I wanted to see if Swift could make the implementation easier to read, more elegant, etc. While the original is hardly a thing of beauty, I thought it still might be useful to see how business logic to perform the same task might differ between the two languages.
I hope people who take a look, fork the repo, download and play with the code will enjoy reading through it and maybe take it as a taste of how things might be done (or not done) in the future.
