- hellofunk 11y agoSwift itself is quite easy to learn, and you don't actually have to do any functional programming in it if you don't know how to do so. I'll bet most people writing in Swift are doing little more than they would have done in Objective-C since it fully supports the OO paradigm. Over time, more and more will adopt some of the neat things you can do with this first-class functions.
- mokagio 11y agoSwift is actually quite simple to pickup, and thanks to its static typing the compiler helps along the way. This functional side of what you can do with the language seems harder because the cryptic concepts, and on top of it there is no real built-in support. Overall though, once you've tried them out a bit they are not that hard, and actually very useful :)
