former Mac dev here, and completely agreed. Refactoring an app because someone else decided to change the language is a bridge to far. And if they do it this time, they'll do it again. Meanwhile the ObjC compiles.

--- Rant - With Swift Apple shifted dev power to themselves. Having gotten fat on the open world, they've backed away from every 'Open' technology they can, and replaced it with their own, ( presently all the way to CPU architecture). Yes, they are giving tremendous powers, but have they also crafted the One Ring.

Yes, but it is common for new languages and frameworks for there to be lots of change in the first few version. Then it matures and settles down. AFAIK Swift is not regularly making large changes, anymore.

Go wasn’t that way, in some respects it is a language design choice whether you want to retain compatibility

Foundation is now open source at least
