It’s horrible but also kind of so good. The bugs are absolutely horrendous, swift is an abomination, the menus are completely impossible to figure out, the builds are wacky. But I’ll be damned, SwiftUI and the build and deploy process for iPhone apps is so straightforward if you can just paddle around the rocks.

How is swift an abomination? I liked it a lot in my short time with it.

		They should have created a systems language to replace objective C and an easy language like Python or JavaScript for app dev, instead they created a language that tries to do everything and the result is a mess. For example SwiftUI, UIkit, you’re constantly running up against weird type system errors and compiler errors. Like dude I’m trying to make a list, swift will say “no you can’t make a list there and I’m not sure why”
