¿Swift 2014?

¡NO!

Bueno…

– Bjarne Stroustrup

“There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones

nobody uses.”

– The Swift Programming Language

“The first industrial-quality systems programming language that is as expressive

and enjoyable as a scripting language. […] It’s designed to scale from ‘hello, world’ to an entire

operating system.”

– Publilius Syrus

“To do two things at once is to do neither.”

–John Siracusa

“Swift is not an academic exercise. It’s not designed to be semantically pure or

mathematically elegant. Swift is a language designed with its implementation in mind from

day one.”

¡Si!

• Mucho soporte de Apple.

• Aprender nuevos conceptos.

• Sólo por curiosidad.

• Playgrounds.

• Ver si Apple tiene éxito creando un lenguaje enfocado a dos objetivos diferentes.

¡Fight! @hiphoox
