[swift-users] Swift and Xcode along with Playgrounds is full of bugs

[Shyamal Chandra]

Hi Shawn,

Could you give me examples of what I said was clearly "unprofessional"?
Two months for a bug because open source is "do it yourself".  This sounds
like a crappy support team by a large multinational company that open
sources non-functional Linux ports of its language.  I gave clear examples
and bugs so I don't understand why you are getting defensive and hammering
me with the "unprofessional" word.  First, address the issues and the bugs;
I gave you clear examples and you circumvent those issues and flag the post
because you don't want to confront that the tooling is buggy and flaky.

I believe that a company of Apple's stature is unprofessional when they
deliver buggy code to their customers that they pay money for.  Before you
respond to this message, please address the bugs that I hyperlinked and the
forum question problem.  You are wasting my time.

Thanks!

Best,

Shyamal Chandra
