Watch the talk on protocol-oriented programming (https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2015/?id=408). And remember, you an do object-oriented programming in C. There's nothing magical about a language that makes it OO or prevents OO. But the language can certainly make it easier or harder to do. What I think Swift gives, more than any of the other options we have, is program correctness. I've only scratched the surface with Swift, and there are things about Obj-C I miss (well, one thing), but I'm quickly coming 'round to the idea that Swift is better (than other languages). -- Rick Mann rm...@latencyzero.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
