@mergesort Your “hybrid” point seems to be undermined by the fact that he also calls Objective-C hybrid.
@brentsimmons Not expecting to change your mind, but a few thoughts have been rolling around in my head.https://medium.com/@mergesort/the-expressive-nature-of-swift-b699369dfe95#.pogyejff9 …

@mjtsai Totally fair, but he also acknowledges that it’s a spectrum (having tendencies). Objective-C leans towards dynamism, Swift static.

@mergesort@brentsimmons@brentsimmons This! I would stress more than you did that Swift isn’t even done yet. More future coolness coming. -
@gregtitus@brentsimmons I didn’t want to lean on it, because we don’t know it’s future, and there are many other factors to touch on.

@mergesort@gregtitus My point is that app developers should talk about the problems they need to solve, and thus help guide that future. -
@brentsimmons@gregtitus It may be perception but the arguments I’ve been hearing sound like “Apple forgot about how this affects apps.” -
@mergesort@gregtitus Nobody (that I know of) is being judgmental. We’re saying that these problems need to be considered in the language.

@mergesort@brentsimmons You close by saying we can recreate what Obj-C offers with protocols and generics. Please show me how. (Not snark.) - View other replies

@bdkjones I actually said, the advantages it’s dynamism offers, which is subtly different. Proper reflection would be a huge boom to that.

@mergesort Also, the “dynamic” in that post is about “dynamic dispatch,” i.e. virtual methods, not message sending or typing. -
@mergesort I’m Team Swift too! But I’m taking the time to document problems that are hard to solve with Swift-minus-Objective-C-runtime.
