This is all quite interesting.<p>I wonder if there are others in my boat, however, who were (in my case minor) iOS developers, and were initially excited by Swift. (I chatted with Chris Lattner at WWDC and thanked him for what looked in the first couple of days like an amazing win.)<p>But after a while, I began to rebel against the idea of learning a whole new complex language and new environment just to keep doing iOS development.<p>So in the end this nice clean breakpoint just pushed me back into the "open web" development camp. I'd like my efforts to work on all platforms.<p>This isn't a plea for sympathy, honest, or an attempt to put down Swift, which looks like a great development--I'm just genuinely curious if others have had this experience.
I would love to see RestKit get re-imagined this same way. If for nothing else than to see more examples of large/complex projects written in Swift. Give other in-depth examples of the language.<p>GitHub repository: <a href="https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire</a>
It looks nice as intended. Related note, I have found a lot of the cruft is needed in building and accessing the JSON bits, of which I only saw a small example on your page. Even then, I'm not sure how much I like the approximated syntax. Worried that it might be confusing it you don't look carefully for braces.
Has anyone ever found out if @Mattt is actually human? I mean, with the quality and volume of work he produces he quite obviously doesn't ever sleep
