Playing around with #swift this morning on my #debian workstation. First impressions are good. The CLI tool is easy to use and syntax is pretty clean. Language design choices appear to borrow some convenience from scripting languages, while giving you options for static typing.
Not sure I personally have a use case for it but reading through the language tour I experienced relatively few WTF moments and that's about the highest praise I can give ANY language.

John Kerry lost the 2004 Presidential Election to George W. Bush in part because he was "swiftboated", a fabricated and untrue story that he didn't earn medals in Vietnam. Donald may (in part) lose the 2024 election bc of the Swift boat of fans.
I any case, while justice in the legal system may not be so speedy, judgment in the court of public opinion, a court in which Donald believes, may be Swift.
