You tell me I'm being misleading? I said big apps can't switch to Swift yet. Tell me what's misleading.

there is no reason ABI stability affects apps (big or small). If anything closed-source framework developers.

Your framework runs Swift 2.2. Apps A and B depend on the framework. You want to upgrade App A to Swift 3.0. What do you do?

recompile. We've all been doing this since Swift 1.0. Certainly not ideal, but no reason to hold using an objectively better lang

You're telling me getting a framework and two apps upgraded in lock step is no big deal? Wow.

I'm saying the benefits Swift provides outweighs those downsides IMO.

yeah, if you're dealing with an app that's 30k lines of code.

Obj-C is indeed an awful language. Swift is expensive for us early adopters. All tradeoffs, as always!
