C experiments in Swift

Everything is great until the flamebait at end.<p>&quot;It is possible to do it all in Swift making it a versatile language unlike Java or Scala&quot;<p>Anybody cares to elaborate on that?

I wonder how longjmp() interacts with ARC. My guess is poorly.

I guess using setjmp&#x2F;longjmp to implement something like try-catch in C is something everyone does when they discover this the first time. I did. But I was aware that it isn&#x27;t a good idea, I just wanted to try it. It was some time between 13 and 11 years ago. I guess other computer science students did the same since the 80ies?

&quot;Writing try-catch block using setjmp and longjmp&quot; Great! Now I can have fun with some bad, old programming ideas!
