I don't miss Objective-C because I still use it on daily basis. I also like Swift, I use it daily at work but I don't see the point of using Swift when working on solo projects. ObjC is fast, fun and I personally feel very product

> But C++ has become somewhat an over-engineered language that is mostly in a to-be-not-to-be state of feature development. You can say the same for Swift. But just like with C++, you can always stick to simpler and smaller subset and ma
