Swift used to make me feel stupid so I switched to writing #Elixir code which felt fun. Every so often I read something like this and know it was the right decision for me. I salute those of you who work through these language evolutions and understand it all.

@simon I’m weird. I liked Objective C.

@sdarlington I loved it. And when the writing was clearly on the wall I knew I needed to move on to something new.

@simon @sdarlington Same. Personally I began some maintenance work on a project in C# / .Net and was pleasantly surprised by how much nicer it was than Swift.

@simon @sdarlington I loved it, but honestly, going back you can see it was held back by some C stuff;
