This is strangest read I had in a while. It is like saying that operating a submarine is very counter intuitive, I know how to operate an airliner, both are vehicles.

It was my first taste of Swift, and has destroyed any lingering curiosity I had about it.

In all honesty this is how a typical developer experience has been for a long time in a number of systems. Expecting someone to pre-chew your programming food is silly.

The difference is that most of those systems have documentation that explains how to use their weird APIs.

For me the worst APIs by far are on Android. They are even worse than win32.

Nope, Google AI APIs are second to none. That shit will make you question whether their services are worth it.

on the one hand, why didn't they just pump it through the "Ghost" and have it fix all the problems for them?
on the other hand, I appreciated knowing that it was actually written by a frustrated human, and not sanitized by the Ghost.
