<div dir="ltr">I've been trying to convince my Apple fanboy coworkers to learn a real programming language like Racket for a while, but they always dismissed everything I said because Apple can do no wrong. One of them posted his notes from WWDC that included the following bullet point. Very vindicating. (I don't think he understands what type inference is.)<div>

Generics. Namespaces. Type inference like scripting languages. Speed like non-scripting languages. Multiple return values. And one of my favorites: an interactive playground. This is by far the most exciting thing that has happened in Apple development for a long, long time. Probably since the iOS SDK was announced."</div>
