Eric Building things Swift in XCode is very enjoyable, so quick to throw things together.
Xasasfdasfd Wow, either they fixed a whole mess of things for Swift, or you're building much tinier things than I worked on in Objective-C, or...something. XCode has been hands-down the worst IDE I've worked with in over a decade.

Eric I've come across Objective C while looking for swift related how-tos, it is the most ugly confusing thing I've ever seen. Swift is pretty much typed JS so I really like it. XCode has been really good so far, there's been no moments of bafflement. Everything it does makes sense to me so far. It's not a huge project but it's a fairly intricate thing. Will post details once its finished.

Mark Dain Dirty secret: I kinda like how Objective-C looks. Although I do write everything in Swift as it's a lot more safe and doesn't require [object retain]; and [object release]; for memory management. Although IIRC, Objective-C doesn't need that either anymore.

Xasasfdasfd Nope, no more explicit retain/release cycles in Objective-C. Which of course broke a bunch of old code...and doesn't get rid of memory management issues, just makes them impossible to fix.
