SwiftUI was a mistake.

The jury is still out on Swift itself.




Some days I agree, some days definitely not. Would you care t elaborate in a meaningful way on your sentiment?


As someone who got his start in programming with Obj-C and AppKit, I’m totally sold on Swift. I’ll still do small tools and the like with Obj-C sometimes but for projects with any complexity, Swift is my go-to. The number of stupid mistakes the Swift compiler catches and little QoL things like not having to maintain header files make it worth its comparative downsides.


Swift is a phenomenal language. Generics, Protocols, Protocol Extensions... all a delight to work with
