Flappy Bird in Swift

Always had a problem with Objective C, could never read it (Android Dev) but this right here is pretty impressive. I like the mixture of language features. But my only question, are you still locked to using an mac to develop for iOS. I guess since the language is closed source it depends on some osx libs at compile time.

Yes, you still need a Mac to develop for iOS. Come to the dark side! :)

Android developer here with a Macbook Pro. I'm honestly thinking about taking the leap and getting an iPhone, depending on how the 6 looks like. But Swift enticed me very much.

What is so hard about reading Objective-C? I've seen this as a very common thread with people celebrating the arrival of Swift.

I'm not trying to be flippant and I understand that the named parameter format may throw some people for a loop, but I'm curious why it appears to be such a limiting factor in trying Objective-C.
