Alliteration is always a good reason :) I shouldn't have been so short with you. I've just seen one to many articles where Swift is made to be seen as Apple's godly gift to software development, without any references to similar languages. Not that yours is that ofcourse, it just triggered that frustration a bit :)

  A knight for the good cause, then :)

    And for the record, I didn't see your comment as "short". You explained some good context, and I just thought I'd explain my word choice in turn, especially since I could joke about it.

      Record noted. Now I find it unfortunate that the title here was changed, we went through all this text for nothing :)
