All in all, I think it's a bit premature to do a "One year where do we go" article the week before WWDC. It is an interesting language, but I've found a couple of things while starting to use it that have driven me crazy, and not really made me want to continue delving; the two that come to mind are a) Error messages are awful, and often nothing to do with the actual error b) Was driven crazy trying to append a tuple to a list. E.g. A tuple of type (Int,String) is expressed (2, "a") var aTuple : (Int,String) = (2,"Some") A list of these is var l : [(Int,String)] = [] This does not work: l.append((2,"a")) // ERROR: missing argument for parameter #2 in call This ALSO does not work: l.append(aTuple) but this does: l.append(2,"a")
