If you wanna think that I'm a bad programmer, that's ok, but I can't put up anymore with Xcode.

Jesus Christ. An entire afternoon spent trying to make an array with two dimensions. I tried every fucking way I found in SO, in the apple site and in every another site that I found in my way.

First: For every example for Swift 3 there's another 10 for Swift <3.

Second: Mutable arrays, as I'm noticing, aren't a thing anymore, so, to declaring array size we go! Except it's impossible to. Tried 3 different ways. Not a single one worked.

Third: Actually, one of the 3 tries worked, for int arrays, and for some obscure reason it won't work for strings, as declaring the array as [String] is too general for swift, I mean, I completely agree with it, a [String] array could contain anything right???? FUCK NO. IT CONTAINS STRINGS YOU FUCKER!!!!

I swear, if the equipment was mine and not from the office, I would have thrown that piece of shit which disconnects from the fucking computer every 30 seconds that apple calls keyboard out of the window already.

Why the fuck do I need to develop for iOS in swift/xcode?? There's so many cross platform alternatives out there, good ones in fact, but no, we must build the applications natively or else the phone will catch on fire according to my boss.

I kinda liked Apple until now.
From now on? Fuck Apple.

    Try any cross platform technology first, and then come back. You better stick with native code for now, unfortunately.

    Xcode is one of the worst pieces of software ever. However I kind of like swift.

    And it can't show me where is the closing/opening bracket complimentary for any bracket, as any half baked IDE would. Man. If I got to choose, Xcode would be a big no no.

    As bad as xcode may be, you're wrong to think there are better cross platform alternatives out there.

    @lucaslsr I mean, I never tried any other alternative.
    Isn't the fact that we have to develop for Android + iOS and maybe Windows phone in the future enough to favor a cross platform alternative?

    @wesaka it all depends on what the app is.

    @ryanmhoffman Simple mobile pos, nothing much to it right now.

    Wouldn't a two dimensional array be [[String]] in Swift? Or maybe Array<Array<String>> or Array<[String]>. I'm not at my Mac at the moment to check

    @JonStodle Got it at the Array<[String]>, but can't declare it outside of the function because apparently, it doesn't recognize the ">" as closing the array type. 😐

    I don't know much about swift but was thinking "if arrays are immutable, they probably have another data type that is" then looked on their site. I guess all their collections are mutable except for when you assign them to a constant. Hopefully this helps.
