These are my thoughts:</p> <h2 id="swift"><strong>Swift</strong></h2> <p><a href="https://retro.moe/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/swift.jpg"><img alt="Image" loading="lazy" src="https://retro.moe/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/swift.jpg?w=610"></a> <a href="https://developer.apple.com/swift/">Swift</a> is a new programming language by Apple.</p> <p>At first sight, it seems to be easier to learn and easier to master than Objective-C. Objective-C is not particular difficult to learn and master, but its syntax looks foreign to C# / C++ / Python developers.</p> <p>Swift, on the other hand, has a more conventional design. You can read Swift code the same way you can read C# code, even if you are not a Swift or C# developer.</p>
