This is strangest read I had in a while. It is like saying that operating a submarine is very counter intuitive, I know how to operate an airliner, both are vehicles.

More like, operating a submarine that's being designed and built-up around you as you travel in it, with half the components being obscure military secrets that - for reasons unknown - don't come with operator manuals anymore, and the other half being done by children copying designs they saw in TV shows with duct-tape and plasticine.

That's how modern software industry feels like.

It was my first taste of Swift, and has destroyed any lingering curiosity I had about it.
