Oh my bad, I totally misread you. I concur with the point you were actually making!

Swift has it's problems, and I certainly wouldn't use it for anything outside of development for Apple platforms, but saying they had no experts on the team is a stretch. Most Swift leads were highly regarded members of the C++ world, even if you discount Chris Lattner.

I’m not sure I follow. Isn’t it just two integer multiplications followed by a comparison.

a/b > x/y is the same as ay > xb

Assuming you don’t overflow your integer type.
