This sounds like AI assisted bunk. All their supposed evidence (tenuous at best) would also apply to developing swift.

The example code is identical to the Swift code, one just isn’t letting the compiler discern type. I think the author doesn’t actually understand what they’re talking about.

Apple has spent a lot of effort making Swift more secure , especially with Swift 6. And a lot of effort trying to move C++ codebases to Swift. So this sounds highly unlikely as a premise.


"Let’s unpack what’s happening — and why it matters" is one red flag, the other is the three-bullets style of exposition.
