Swift Sucks!

its meant to be really good. ive started but havent really gotten deep into it.

Well here's the thing as a beginner programmer it is easy to get into... but the advanced stuff and weird bugs and other issues are so bad. I think because its new and still needs work.

>>57732245
could you be more specific?

>>57732351
The unwrapping of optionals...and strange intermittent bugs where code will sometimes run and sometimes won't

It's way over complicated to parse XML or Json.

Can't find a single thing online to help you, its all in 2.x and the syntax changed just enough to cause errors.

Xcode 8 is complete shit and crashes when trying to drop elements onto workspace. Which has bettered my habbit of saving more often.

>>57732424
OMG yes! There's even things you can't undo in XCode 8. All we needed is a nice XCode and up to date Objective C. Not this crap!!

Deleting a link between a GUI element and the code is complicated. You can't just delete the code you have to go into the element and actually delete the link. And if you change the name of the element in the code. Be prepared to delete the old link and relink it with the new name. Refactoring was already annoying enough.

Also trying to center an element on the workspace is fucking hell. It will look centered but as soon as you simulate it, it will be off-center. So you have to go in and give it specific constraints. Instead of just drag and dropping it where you want.

Yup!

I literally had to convince my next employer to do it in Objective C, and swift would waste a lot of time.
