So Swift Then ? Or Wot No Brackets ?

So Swift is essentially Objective-C without the C and without the bracket message sending syntax and with some new stuff and some changed stuff.

Well the C is no loss but the brackets are the best bit so what new stuff do we get to compensate for their disappearance ?

In no particular order

• tuples

• a first class enum type

• a first class struct type

• operator functions and custom operators

• range operators

• subscript operators

• optional values

• generics

• a super switch

• a plethora of options for parameter lists

and

    much much more

as it always says on the posters.
