============================================================ but seriously what the fuck is Swift? that shit is so fucking stupid. i wanted to make a simple gopher client for my iPhone and it's like writing legal documents for code, and still coming up short. it's so goddamn complicated to do simple shit. want some substrings? gotta use some shitty subscript notation and USE FUCKING TYPED INDEXES - WHAT THE FUCK! after getting a migraine, I ended up scrapping the whole idea. fuck that noise. once i calm down from this shitty experience, i'll most likely write the client in obj-c - unless it proves a shittier experience. on another note, i feel less psychotic today. not sure if it was the borderline hangover, or the exhaustion from lack of sleep, but i feel better in general today. tonight is pizza night with the kids. prolly gonna watch a movie later. ============================================================
