operators." Yes, that's low level!
Swift is Objective-C in a new dress, but not a system level programming
language (and neither is Objective-C IMHO). It is an application level
language for Cocoa frameworks.
Just like ANSI C without the usual set of language extensions.
Having done system programming in Turbo Pascal and Oberon, I guess I
don't seek C like features in system programming languages.
