Yup I agree, to me it is turning into the next c++ with the kitchen sink in terms of features. The language is trying too hard to cater to too many use cases.

At some point I hope it stabilizes without it being the end of the language.

I use Swift every day and while I still enjoy it, I think the language was nicer to use in its earlier iterations than it is now, which is a shame.




I was hoping for the same about 2 releases ago. We're way beyond unsalvageable.

If I was Chris Lattner, I would be lying in my bed wide awake each night, staring at the ceiling, wondering how it went so wrong.
