Key differences between Objective_C and Swift
Characteristic | Objective_C | Swift |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Objective-C uses a C-style syntax with Smalltalk-style messaging. | Swift uses a more modern and concise syntax inspired by several programming languages. |
Paradigm | Objective-C is a superset of C and supports both procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms. | Swift is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. |
Typing | Objective-C is a dynamically typed language. | Swift is a statically typed language with type inference. |
Performance | Objective-C has good performance and is widely used in iOS and macOS development. | Swift is designed to be fast and provides performance improvements over Objective-C. |
Libraries and frameworks | Objective-C has a large number of libraries and frameworks available. | Swift has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, and is compatible with Objective-C libraries. |
Community and support | Objective-C has a mature and established community with extensive documentation and support. | Swift has a rapidly growing community and is actively supported by Apple with regular updates and improvements. |
Learning curve | Objective-C has a steeper learning curve compared to Swift. | Swift has a relatively easier learning curve, especially for developers familiar with modern programming languages. |
