A lot of folks I know seem to feel bad for liking ObjC syntax. Fuck that. Not being great for chained calls is minor, readability is great.
I think Swift is generally an improvement here, but that doesn’t make ObjC’s syntax bad.

@Catfish_Man unpopular opinions: 1. I really don’t like chained calls, it makes it hard to track mutation of state. 2. I really like objc -
@Dirk_Gently I agree… exactly up until functions compose predictably at which point it becomes awesome. (Usually means no mutation though)

@Catfish_Man I do wish ordering of args and returns in swift were more like C: returns <- (args). Feels more consistent with chaining - View other replies

@chrisbrandow I’d be fine with that… empirically though, I’ve found people have *really odd* opinions re chaining syntax. Little agreement.

@Catfish_Man I think that Swift’s syntax discourages sentence-like method naming and I am loathe to lose it -

@Catfish_Man I think it gets a lot of hate because auto-complete with it is kinda awkward. But I do like the language overall. -
@Catfish_Man Although in all honesty the "line up the colons" convention is horrible from a diffs perspective.
