OK, Started to work on iOS app few months ago. Had to deal with so many xcode and swift problems that it is driving me nuts. How any sane person can code this shit language? I never seen such an idiotic syntax in my life. I worked with so many languages in past 12 years: C++, Java, Python, PHP, Ruby, JavaScript. So many code editors & IDE's: Subline, Notepad++, Eclipse, Jetbrains, VSCode, Atom. But after working XCode and Swift for few months I want to burn down my MacBook that I only had to get to work on this iOS app with this shitty XCode IDE.

    At least it's better than horrible Objective C.

    @iiii It's not an argument if you need to choose a lesser evil. Apple's mind is just fucked-up for making it hard for developers. It seems like this Swift syntax intentionally goes backwards on all programming languages standards just to make it harder to leave it. I have no idea how a person could start coding in any other language after working with Swift for a couple of years.

    @ddyto they could have just used C++ as sane people

    Knowing apple they probably did just want it to be harder to port.

    I have experience of over 2 years in iOS development and Xcode right now, and I’ll tell you this: Swift gets very very easy and the syntax will make more and more sense to you the further you work with it, and Xcode is just Xcode: it has many issues but I am currently using Xcode 13 (the beta that came out) and many of the complaints I had are just solved.

    Be patient, you’re new. And also, just say thanks that Objective-C isn’t a requirement, because this language would just make you quit app development for good. **TRUST ME.**
