Gus and Craig
Being able to write dynamic, responder chain-like code in Swift or Objective-C (or whatever) is extremely important to me. And if I had to give one reason why it would be this: Dynamic code is less code, and less code means fewer bugs and maintenance.
The community around Swift’s evolution is amazing. The language is improving quickly and dramatically thanks to talented developers inside and outside of Apple. It’s a remarkable open source project.
My concern is that there isn’t a corresponding discussion about the things we’re going to build with this new language. As you’ve just seen, frameworks are important, yet there is no uikit-evolution mailing list. There is an imbalance between the tool and the craft.
