This! I tried to learn Swift with the playground that came from "A Swift Tour"... A lot of examples didn't compile and it took WAY too long to figure out that it wasn't a problem on my end.

Definitely not a good way to introduce new programming languages to newbies.

I downloaded "A Swift Tour" a week or two ago and it was written in Swift 4 (a fact which I found out when I tried to run it in Swift Playgrounds 1.5). When did you try it?
