The weird open stache {} brackets that are permitted when the last argument of a function is a closure. This is a ridiculous feature, combined with ResultBuilder, made the language worse. And I will assert that both of these awful features increased complexity for the sole purpose of making SwiftUI syntax approachable to JavaScript devs.

On the other hand, I hate react-native and prefer to not live in a world where all my software is glitchy and slow, so I understand Apple’s motivations. React-native is a threat with hip modern syntax. Apple still used the icky MVC with the crusty old CALayers.

I just hope it was worth it!

- async coloring every function - actors coloring every function and type - everything is now in tasks - sendable/non-sendable closure especially when integrating with legacy code

You write any piece of code that touches async and you have to add 4 additional keywords
