@rob_rix Hi Rob, didn't see that one coming (quora post). What happened? Or did I get completely misconstrue what I read as enthusiasm?

@mpweiher this is the sum of many smaller criticisms. You’re seeing them collected for the first time but I’ve been critical from the start. -
@mpweiher none of that changes my inclination towards the language (tho perhaps it should). I criticize things which are worth improving. -
@mpweiher and I’d still rather write Swift than Objective-C any day of the week. -
@rob_rix Interesting. Could that be because you see in the mess that is Swift the thing it COULD be, but not in Objective-C? -
@mpweiher precisely. Objective-C’s potential is not something I want to pursue (and even if I did, Smalltalk exists already)… -
@mpweiher …whereas Swift’s potential is to bridge us away from unsound software bit by bit. -
@rob_rix Thanks! I have to admit I find the perspective incomprehensible on several levels, but that's more a blog post than Twitter

@rob_rix great list. maybe I’m a purist, but it bothers me that we’re just replacing one set of inconsistent compromises with another!
