I've never used it, not a big apple guy. What did their change in 3 that you like? It be nice to hear what good things changed, because you mostly hear complaints in rants
-
@iam13islucky "improvements" like this one https://www.devrant.io/rants/439457
Talking seriously, it's a good language, and better than Objective-C. -
@BrianValente lol, I saw that and that's why I asked what we liked. I've only seen complaints like the ++ being removed
-
@iam13islucky yep u right x), well not a big change in the version 3 they added things like guard statement anyway I think swift is one of the best language i evzr used !
-
They took out some c-specific idioms like ++ and for(;;), so if you used them a lot in your swift 2 code, it adds to the refactoring effort, although Xcode is pretty good at automating a lot of the conversion.
But the updates to the Cocoa APIs make your code more concise and readable; they really took advantage of parameter labels to reduce redundancy.
Guard is the shit, also.
