Re:Most used words in programming languages by questerzen on Friday January 20, 2017 @05:12PM (#13447381)
It is probably a sign of a good language that the words used most should be similar in frequency to their use in pseudo code. When words like "end" (Ruby), "self" (Python), "import" (Java), "err"/"error" (Go and Node) are over-represented, it's likely a sign that the language is introducing accidental complexity. By this metric Swift looks astonishingly sane.
