My complaint is really that these discussions have been good on for a year and 
we seem to get in to cyclical debates on how it *might* be, but I'd like to see 
us make a serious effort to try it.   
 
 
 

 
There are some really big discussions happening right now (e.g. the String 
model), and many more really big design discussions to be had in the near 
future (pattern matching, property behaviours, you name it...).
 

 
I think the best part of Swift is that it isn't standardised and isn't yet 
entirely fleshed-out. That means the people who use it every day have a way to 
learn about the design philosophy behind certain features, and to suggest 
meaningful and practical changes based on their experience. We're undercutting 
all of that by making it so awkward for people to get engaged.
 

 
It's at least worth a beta test.
