Why is Swift for iOS Gaining Popularity?
What is Swift for iOS Development and Why is it Gaining Popularity in 2022 and beyond?
Introduction
Swift is a programming language designed to improve (and possibly replace) Apple's popular Objective-C programming language. Swift is intended to be more secure, powerful, intuitive, and simple to use. In fact, many iOS developers today use Swift without first learning Objective-C. Here are some of the reasons why more developers are turning to Swift for mobile app development.
Swift's Improvements over Objective-C
Swift is a programming language that uses the same modern programming tools and concepts as Objective-C, but with a simpler syntax. Its main advantage over Objective-C is that it makes debugging coding errors much easier. Swift, like more modern languages like Python and Ruby, speeds up software development by delegating tasks to the background. Swift automatically removes unnecessary data from the machine's memory automatically, allowing developers to focus on other tasks. Its compiler even checks for errors before running tests, giving it an edge over other programming languages in terms of safety.
