You're right - fair point!
I was just comparing the basic Objective-C initialization rules a new programmer needs to grasp with Swift’s much more formalized set of rules.
I didn’t take into account (and probably don’t even know) all the Objective-C conventions and recommendations.

The best thing about Objective-C? You can actually understand it in 30 minutes.
Clean. Simple. Straightforward - kinda like Ruby. Then you meet Swift’s initialization rules… tinyurl.com/yeybwza6

Who remembers how many years Combine was a "first-choice" framework for async events? 2 years?

I find it useful sometimes, especially for things I'm not confident about. For example, it recently helped me add a lot of VoiceOver support to an app I'm working on.

Interesting, will have a look. So the intention is to replace Swift Data for simpler scenarios?

Congrats Donny and fingers crossed. I think you could write another book for us on how to make such transition :)

Hi Antoine, you’re my go-to source for top-notch iOS information. However, keep in mind that in past WWDC keynotes, Apple mentioned having more than 20 million registered Apple developers. Looks like you’ll be quite busy in the near future! 😅

Mikhail Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita. I first read it during my college years.
