Chris Lattner on the origins of Swift – Ole Begemann
I’ve seen so many systems where you build a thing and then you try to explain it afterwards. And when you go to explain it and it’s really awkward and you’re like, “wow, I have to explain the workarounds for this thing”. If you can close that feedback loop and include the documentation, include the explaining-it-to-people part into the design process, you get something that’s so much better.
