Comment on Swift: Not quite there, but too far gone tooparent

Comments

That wasn't snark; it was an answer. The fact that you have some unexplained "doubt" about whether it is correct does not make it snark.

But let's delve in. Why is it impossible to analyze a language from a programming language theory perspective without having used it? Obviously having used it will give a fuller perspective, but I don't see what you think is so deficient about the extensive documentation Apple has put out that it's impossible to comment from a theoretical standpoint on that basis.

To put it another way, I think you should drop the snark. If you have an actual problem with the critique or with the Swift documentation, you can bring it up. A snarky dismissal like "Question; why post this then?" does not add anything.
