While I appreciate all his work on LLVM, Chris Lattner's Swift didn't work out so well for me, so I'm cautious about this.
Swift has some nice features. However, the super slow compilation times and cryptic error messages really erase any gains in productivity for me.
- "The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time?" On an M3 Pro? What the hell!?
- To find an error in SwiftUI code I sometimes need to comment everything out block by block to narrow it down and find the culprit. We're getting laughs from Kotlin devs.
