Poll: what do you strongly dislike about Swift?

Using Swift
59
  • subscript and operator labels
  • no optional first trailing closure label
  • open access modifier not applying to protocols
  • keypath requiring the hashability of the path (it's good but sometimes a real pain point)
  • well access modifiers below internal, there is just not enough flexibility, therefore I only use public and implicit internal and never anything else except open when necessary
  • callAsFunction naming scheme, as it could have been a nice and clean anonymous function instead
  • subscript not being treated as a keyword like func and requiring a space after it
  • the whole weirdness about associated type inference in combination with where clauses (What kind of magic behavior is this?)

I'll extend the list if anything else comes to my mind.
