I got to be honest every time I look over to the Swift/iOS development ecosystem I’m shocked at the amount of nonsense they have to deal with.

- Xcode is terrible

- Documentation is barely existent

- you can’t really reuse your code in any other context

- you have to pay them money to even release your software

- they steal 30% of your revenue

- they reserve the right to shut you down at any point, for any reason and provide almost zero recourse.

I get why people had to use it historically but it seems like a really bad choice to try and build any kind of reliable future on top of in 2024.
