So far I don't see why it's any better than Objective-C. Perhaps I'll find that out later.
I just resumed iOS App development after quite a long hiatus. My iPhone was stolen and my MacBook Pro dropped dead just a couple weeks after AppleCare expired.
Now I have a Mac Mini and an iPhone 7. (The 7 Plus is too large to hold comfortably.)
I've been working on Warp Life since time began.
Some of the APIs I use have been deprecated. I'm unfamiliar with their replacements, and have found that all the tutorials are in Swift.
My current job is a consulting contract. While my clients and I really like each other, when I finished all their projects I'll be out of work again.
I hope to get a job as an iOS App Developer. Just to be considered for that role, one has to have published at least one App in the App Store. Having a stellar resume doesn't help one bit - you need that one published App, even if it's totally braindead.
I've got at least six months before I have to look for a new client.

I have not read through all of your posts, so correct me if government work is something you are totally not interested in. But I recently saw these job postings down in Eugene while I was looking for a different kind of work.
