Swift has jumped from number 68 to 22 in the language rankings in one year
- joeblau 12y agoIt hasn't even been a whole year. I think this speaks to how excited people are about the iOS ecosystem and how put off people were by Objective-C. I'm currently tutoring a Swift class online and my students are from all backgrounds. People that don't even program are excited about it. I started learning the week after WWDC, and I'm finally getting comfortable with the language to the point where I'm not writing Swiftjective-C (Swift that looks like Objective-C). It's great to be able to use functional programming constructs that have been in other languages for over 5 years. I'm just waiting for the Job postings that ask for "Swift Experts" and "5 years Swift experience" to start showing up.
