Regarding my tweets yesterday about Swift not being dynamic, as long as Obj-C sticks around I don't see that being an issue

@pilky I do. The problem is when I want to interoperate with others’ code. If they thought “this doesn’t need to be dynamic”, it’s harder.

@amyruthworrall But I'd wager that 90+% of the Obj-C code you've ever written isn't inherently dynamic code
Amy Worrall ‏@amyruthworrall 11 Jun 2014

@pilky Most of my apps have a classFromString, or a class_addMethod, or a resolveInstanceMethod. It’s a style I like.
Martin Pilkington ‏@pilky 11 Jun 2014

@amyruthworrall And is there something that would prevent those particular parts of your app being written in Obj-C?
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 11 Jun 2014

@pilky @amyruthworrall If you're trying to do dynamic stuff with other people's compiled code, it's easier if they didn't use Swift.
Martin Pilkington ‏@pilky 11 Jun 2014

@mjtsai @amyruthworrall True, but technically you should only be doing that for either debugging or as an absolute last resort

@pilky @amyruthworrall Yes, but practically speaking frameworks have bugs, and apps are missing features that users want. Dynamism can help.
