Swifting

[migmit]

You know, I've tried Swift again, with the latest beta available, and it kinda works.

Still seems like something inside it is crashing every other second, but XCode holds and playground... playgrounds.

I even tried my generics test, and was able to make it work. So it seems that Swift has real generics (unlike Rust). Nice.

What do you call 'real' generics?

Somebody was complaining that it crashes all the time.
Otherwise, really interesting, they came up with a good language.

And it still does. I've heard rumors that if you get rid of your usual XCode and install their beta in it's place, then it won't crash that much; but I'm not willing to check right now. I'll wait for the release.

Depends on what you compare it to. It's way better then Rust, sure, but even Scala seems better than it.
