[swift-evolution] Philosophy of Swift

[Jonathan Hull]

I am (somewhat unexpectedly) teaching a class in Swift/iOS starting later this week, and I was hoping to get a couple of quotes to share with my students from the community (and ideally a core team member) about what they believe the general philosophy behind Swift is…

I have heard things like:
“Swift is a practical language”
“Swift is the first Protocol Oriented Language”

How would you define Swift in your own words?

Thanks,
Jon
