It seemed like there was a lot of Swift momentum early on but I'm seeing less enthusiasm around it now. Due to Xcode issues perhaps?
So what are your latest thoughts on Swift? Are you guys using it in production apps? Not yet? Plans to or not?

@flyosity I'm about to release new app written entirely in Swift. It's the biggest app I've done and I found myself much more productive... - View other replies

@joewalnes Very cool! One of the first people I've heard actually using it lol

@flyosity gets through the review process much faster -
@twodayslate Ha, interesting

@flyosity Not yet, no. And after playing around with it a bit more its static nature bothers me more than I had initially thought. -
@pocketpixels Very interesting -
@flyosity It is the combination of types being implicit, yet complex and strictly and pedantically enforced that is pretty frustrating.

@flyosity not ready for Prime time yet. I’ll take a more serious look at the next WWDC. -
@coryb I've seen that reaction a bunch. People were psyched, then reality set in? -
@flyosity Yep. Swift has some really great things, I just think it’s going to take a while for folks to switch over existing codebases.

@flyosity Swift will be mandatory soon, e.g. for some fancy new framework. Or probably the Apple watch will be Swift only… -
@FernetBronco Apple Watch has been worked on for 3 years but no one inside Apple really knew about Swift till last June.
-
@flyosity Sure, but battery constraints of the watch are a perfect reason to enforce Swift. Better optimization and no runtime overhead.
