Now I'm fully aware that there are plenty of people who still believe this code is better than Swift. But at this point I think they're a tiny minority.

This screenshot demonstrates to me the fundamental core of why Swift strives to be a low-ceremony language. Not because all the ceremony shown here is a hassle remember or type, though it is.

It's that the ceremony drowns out the core of what the code is trying to express: the business logic that is the actually important part.
