I've been trying to write a plugin for TextMate in Swift. TextMate is 
written in C++ with the GUI code in Objective-C. It's quite difficult 
and currently it's probably 50% Objective-C++ code and 50% Swift. Not 
taking in to account the C++ declarations for the TextMate code I need 
to interface with.

That Swift doesn't support exceptions is annoying too, make it even more 
difficult.
