Yes, but I LIKE Swift, because of all that sugar.
I started off with machine language, in embedded systems. You can't get much more "raw" than that.
I have been writing Swift exclusively for a long time. I speak it without an accent. It's my beauty.
But I also know that you can have so much sugar you fall into a diabetic coma.

Exactly my feelings. Same thing here started from machine code and now doing everything else including kitchen sink

Did you guys really start from machine code or do you mean assembler?

Machine code. Was actually typing it on big roll of paper and then crawling around it pretending to be a debugger

Machine. Hex keypad and a lot of looking up hex codes for commands.
Type in a bunch of numbers, then set the PC to 0.
Assembler was great after that.
I do not remember that stuff fondly. It sucked.

If we got rid of everything we don't absolutely need in programming, we would have to get rid of 98% of Swift syntax, and probably every modern programming language including Swift.
