I lived and breathed Swift for the first five or six years of its existence. When people compliment it, I assume they haven't used it long enough to hate it.

Swift is a mix of great features, miserable features, and... every other feature that someone on Evolution dreamt up (with the exception of those that would fix the miserable features)

Swift is unique among high-level languages in that the mental effort required to do many simple things rivals that of a low-level language.
