>>Swift is a start-over For me, Lua+LuaJIT+C/C++ as a cross-platform solution to everything is a start-over, and it gives me all kinds of things I don't get from Swift, one of them is the ability to make decisions for myself about how the basic structures of the application are going to be managed and under what conditions, either in the VM as needed or out of it, and with whatever current frameworks you want to interface with (e.g. everything). Plus, LuaJIT for the win. Plus put it, simply everywhere. (On:iOS,Linux,OSX,Win,Web,&etc.) Swift is interesting, but I will not again be swayed to the darkside of using platform-provider-provided-platforms to achieve platform nirvana, for that harness contains nails upon which to be pinned. Planks can be assembled of many kinds, but mine is shiny enough without another dastardly developer-mindset-grab by a very, very serious cult. (<<--MacbookPro'er) |
