I have never seen such a shitty language as Swift, honestly.

Wow really? Can you elaborate? I find Swift beautiful 😍
Really??!
I am extremely unfamiliar with it, literally hacked on it twice writing patches for Damus, but I find it extremely annoying having to read a bunch of different documentation just to be able to basic functionality.
Literally read three different blog posts on how to get a substring, one of them recommended writing some kind of wrapper interface. ChatGPT wrote code that was deprecated and wouldn't work on current Swift.
I just wanted to do the equivalent of "string".substr(2, 1) == `r` or something like that and even that felt like a nightmare 😭
Again, extremely unfamiliar with Swift, but 99% other languages you can infer basic functionality like this with no/minimal pain.
Swift sucks can’t convince me otherwise - gave me fits the times I used it
Have you seen Javascript?
Lol, yeah, JS used to be my most hated language, but I think Swift takes the crown when it comes to being unintuitive 😅
I completely don't get why isn't Damus written with react native
Between swift and JavaScript, I will take js any day.
