Jow Forums's opinion on Swift, another meme language?

Hudson Fisher
Swift is my first foray into code. It's been about 20 years since I wrote any code (HTML) and shit has changed so much. It seem easy to learn new code. I like it.
Elijah Thomas
I rate it a Mach 5 / 10
John Collins
no package manager = shit lang
Jack Flores
Swift is shit but it’s growing, but Xcode is the worst IDE known to man.
We’re essentially beta testing the language for Apple. ABI stability is still not a thing, though it’s finally coming.
Joseph Gray
Go has a better garbage collector
Levi Wilson
It speaks for itself.
Grayson Howard
Literally made for toddlers. No self respecting programmer would be caught dead using SJWift.
Ryan Miller
Swift doesn’t compile if there’s an uneven amount of spaces between the variable name and its value.
Cameron Robinson
It will never have any uptake outside of the Apple ecosystem, which is shrinking.
Brayden Jackson
>self respecting programmer
Who do you think even uses applel software?
Wyatt Wilson
Go back to r*ddit. It's literally saved from there.
Matthew Stewart
>It seem easy to learn new code
Did you just refer to a programming language itself as code?
Zachary Bailey
im not the biggest xcode fan but at least it looks nice
Landon Roberts
>i cant import my integer increment library liek i can in npm
Evan Ramirez
I think its a nice modern language, but its ecosystem besides the apple stuff is really poor.

Leo Lopez
what is this supposed to even be
Thomas Garcia
Didn't have a very deep look into it, but to me it seems to be the most promising modern natively compiled language.
Much more programmer friendly than Rust and a fast growing user base.
One downside is that it's not that easy to get running on Linux.
Tip for everyone: If you can't or don't want to use XCode, e.g. because you use Linux, you can also use the Swift plugin for CLion.
Anthony Anderson
Applel pajeets try to code hello world.
Kevin Thomas
Look at the URL
It's a test case for lldb
You put a breakpoint on line 6 and input all the commands below that
Brayden Jones
BUHHH I CANT MANAGE MY DEPENDENCIES MANUALLY BECAUSE I DONT CODE ANY FUNCTIONALITY MYSELF.
You're kicked off space force, faggot.
Andrew Perry
If you're using anything other than MacOS , Swift is useless. Same goes for C# outside of Windows.
Typical Jow Forums poster
This, id love to see GNUStep take ahold, but they're so small it's unlikely Rip PureDarwin. Free Software rewrites of SDK software is inevitably awful, it's sad really. I feel as if the GNU projects initial goal of rewriting proprietary software has lost its realism. Software is simply too complex these days, more than the simple command line tools of the past.

If you aint coding in lisp, you a bitch with inedaquate sex and life. fuck you. lisp or die. FUCK U
Kayden Campbell
>good
i like it that you dont have to put a semicolon at the end of lines and that code blocks that in other languages require a parenthesis like an if statement is not required in swift.other languages like c could use this syntax sugar too to be honset it has no runtime cost and your code looks much cleaner.
>bad
no prefix/postfix increment/decrement
guard/else is unnecessary just use an if/else
