I'm not sure why but I enjoy working in Swift. It just feels fun. I'd love to use it for backend or web development, but currently if I'm not targeting iOS or Mac, I don't use Swift. You raise a good question about wheth

When I was 38 I completely broke my left radius bone into multiple pieces at the wrist end while snowboarding at Squaw Valley. On the x-rays it looked like it was crushed into tiny pieces at the wrist. The doctor said I was lucky it had bee
