C, C++ and Java developer for the last 30 years, but NOT a CompSci major. Swift is great! Even with my exposure to various C+Objects syntaxes over the years, Objective C just makes my eyes hurt. I wrote a couple of iOS apps and I never got used to it. I just don’t care for it. It’s really just a matter of personal prefs, I think, because others really like Obj-C and I grant that it must be possible! ;) The Swift syntax is airy and easy to read. I felt like I was breathing fresh air, if that makes any sense. I converted the SpriteKit walkthrough PDF examples to Swift from Obj-C as I went along. Very straightforward. There were a couple of things that took a few minutes to figure out, but it was all very logical. The Cocoa APIs seem to fit Swift nicely. I am very happy about this new language. As someone else said above, its like a heavy weight has been lifted. It really is that affecting.
