It's still in beta dude. Night and day difference between beta and gold master. If you're turned away from a brand new language due to an IDE's autocomplete, then you're in for a world of hurt when you start learning all the Cocoa APIs.


Sure, and he acknowledged that they're still working on it, and is filing bug reports ;)

Having new people join a project/language, and finding it's warts/weird parts is awesome! It's part of how you learn where the REAL issues that bother people are, and set a development roadmap. He's using it, and telling Apple where it should evolve. That's the whole -point- of a Beta ;)


Heh, this is the truth. Most of the difficulty of learning Swift I think will lie in learning Cocoa. Just like Objective-C that.


That is true for every programming language and platform pair. The syntax is always the easy part, but unfortunately the only thing most people fixate on.


Valid point, also amusing that everyone focuses on the trivial part of syntax over the difficulty of the environment it lives in.
