There is a common dilemma across mobile app development teams: ‘Which programming language should we use?’. The iPhone maker, Apple chose Objective-C as its application development programming language till the release of Swift in 2014. The Cupertino Company has got widespread feedback about Swift. Most of positive and a few negative reports helped the company to develop the language accordingly.
While Objective C enjoyed the monopoly for twenty-five years, developers have started migrating to Swift for all the right reasons.
Here are a few valid arguments in favor of selecting Swift over Objective C:
Better Coding Experience
With Swift, the developers can get rid of the two-file requirement. Thanks to Xcode and LLVM compiler, the process of performing incremental builds becomes automated. It eliminates the repetitive task of separating the header file from the body, and, in a way, reduces the workload on the programmer. Developers have to deal with a single code file instead of two separate files. It gives a better coding experience and reduces the development time.
