Uhh was that a time-reversing debugger in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Seriously, is it recording state or using an Elm-style time-traveling debugger?

That was the impressive part of the initial demo to me, and its actual usefulness will probably determine whether I give Swift an honest shot right out of the gate.

I am disappointed in the intermediate Swift talk. One of the speakers said that F1 cars do not have turbos in one of his examples. GET WITH THE TIMES! _{(All F1 cars are turbocharged starting this year.)}

Other than that, that talk did an awesome job selling some of the power in Swift. I'm definitely going to jump into the advanced stuff this weekend. I was unreasonably excited to see that you can do pattern matching with ... and _ in the middle of case statements. It reminds me of the fun I had playing with Prolog in college.

It took us a good 3-4 days of converting from 2.3 and 3.0 and then another week of tracking down horrible bugs.

It took me a similarly long time to convert, but somehow everything worked except trying to use Cocoalumberjack for a mixed project. Should I be scared that I have not yet found the horrible bugs?
