Swift Vs. Objective-C: Why the Future Favors Swift

snydeq writes: InfoWorld's Paul Solt argues that It's high time to make the switch to the more approachable, full-featured Swift for iOS and OS X app dev. He writes in Infoworld: "Programming languages don't die easily, but development shops that cling to fading paradigms do. If you're developing apps for mobile devices and you haven't investigated Swift, take note: Swift will not only supplant Objective-C when it comes to developing apps for the Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and devices to come, but it will also replace C for embedded programming on Apple platforms. Thanks to several key features, Swift has the potential to become the de-facto programming language for creating immersive, responsive, consumer-facing applications for years to come."

    I could moderate you 'idiot' but you wouldn't know why.

    Apple is unlikely to rewrite a bunch of code. I mean, they did, numerous times, but it worked out for them, so why change?

    Oh, you mean everything that makes up their operating system?

    Well who in the shit said that Apple would rewrite their operating system in response to one fuckhat on the internet?

    You did. You, and pretty much only you, in order to have a straw man to shite upon.

    Stay with the program. Is Swift better than Objective-C? Why or why not? I don't care if you write letters in retard language or whatever it is that you understand, I've moderator points and I'm clearly not going to spend them here, on you, and your window-licking idiocy.

    Did you read the article, or are you a regular slashdot reader, or are you using crocodil?

    How are you insightful? I have money to burn on stock speculation, and I would like to know how you know this, and what else you know.

    Otherwise, you are a fucking tool on an internet where anyone can type anything for any reason, or no reason at all.

    Microsoft is going to deprecate C# in favor of blowing a mule. Spend all of your education on mule blowing and not C#.

    Oil is going away in favor of donkey sperm. You heard it first.

    Invest in gold, it has no inherent value and is most commonly used to solder computing bits together. But it will go up in value.

    Kim Kardashian's ass will have an IPO. Save for the future, don't spend money on the ridiculous claims above.

    Also, I'd like to know your current drug regimen and family history of being batshit insane.
