I don't think syntax is really the issue. Using objc these days is clunky for reasons besides syntax.

Like dealing with ARC, which is still clunky:

    @lazy var asHTML: () -> String = {
        [unowned self] in
        if let text = self.text {
            return "<\(self.name)>\(text)</\(self.name)>"
        } else {
            return "<\(self.name) />"
        }
    }
