"She" the programmer. Seriously this sounds ridiculous and is the outcome of the shameful male "betafication" women try to establish these days. I say "he" the programmer.
Okay enugh bullshit and to the point:
Swift is preview. It will get better and better fromday to day. It isn't there to mimic scala or lisp paradigms. It is there to get the job done and it will get the job done.
That's just unnecessary political correctness. It's very hip amongst a very special crowd of people. Using multiple genders somehow fixes the gender dis-balance in the craft.
Exactly. How will wee poor, oppressed male programmers survive as only 80 or 90% of the field?
For those wondering about the weird "betafication" thing, I recommend reading this fine blog: http://wehuntedthemammoth.com/
It's a trope of the self-anointed "men's rights" crowd, from people who are in a continual hysteria about how society is stopping them from being proper alpha males. Never quite getting that passive-aggressive anonymous-coward Internet message board comments are not how chimpanzee males work out their dominance issues.
