Interesting to see Businessweek write an entire article about Swift and even do a halfway decent job! ;)

One year later to look at the keynote at WWDC, I think Swift starts to show its magic. I remember Andrew has taught what is Struct, how to use struct and what is the different between struct and class in one lecture. The lecture is really helpful.

At WWDC 15, Apple has a session "Swift is a Protocol-Oriented Programming Language". It's repeated twice. The session starts with discussing what is struct. From my understanding, the first step to figure out the reason why Swift is faster and safer than Objective-C is how does struct work.

If you have time, check out the video. Here is the link: https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2015/?id=408
