Note #8

Re: iOS Dev Weekly #709 on the cost of Swift and SwiftUI (opens in new tab)

Considering how much more friendly Swift and SwiftUI are to developers—especially those just starting out—compared to Objective-C and UIKit, long-term the cost was (or is, since we’re still not there yet) definitely worth it.

I would not be building native Apple platform apps for a living had it not been for Swift and SwiftUI. I'm also having an amazing time doing so. I owe Apple and the Swift community a massive thanks! ♥︎
