Michael Tsai - Swift at 10

My high-level take is that I generally like programming in Swift. I’m rewriting all my apps in it. But I’m not sure it was the right thing to build. It’s been such an immense effort both within Apple and for the community. This has been a distraction from apps, frameworks, architecture, and documentation. So much mindshare has been taken up by the language itself, which should be just a tool for building the things that actually matter for our customers. It’s come a long way, but the “end” is not yet in sight, as, even 10 years in, essential pieces are still being designed.
