You realize that Swift not only resembles Scala syntax closely, but also adopts many of the same concepts?
Oh, right. Just the usual Scala bashing ... I think you have forgotten to mention C++.

If you think that superficial syntax comparison is a fair comparison of the two languages, then you haven't written idiomatic Scala code. It's true that Swift looks a lot like imperative Scala. But that means nothing as nobody writes or should want to write imperative Scala. > Oh, right. Just the usual Scala bashing ... I think you have forgotten to mention C++. Did you miss the part where I said I wrote mostly Scala for the last couple of months? Look at my post history, I love Scala.
