Apple should have made a modern Smalltalk on top of the Objective-C object model as a replacement for Objective-C instead of Swift.

I want to love Swift, but the funny thing is that as they solve more problem with Swift they also add so much complexity that you wonder if all the problems they solved just added new problems.

i really really like swift actually, it lets me express things that are harder in many languages...

that being said, i also feel this as well... idk i feel like swift went too hard in the static direction which makes a lot of things harder than they should be such as hot-loading while developing etc
