What are the common challenges startups face when transitioning to Swift from other languages?

The question is about Swift

Answer:

Startups migrating to Swift from other languages face many challenges while learning Swift-specific syntax, optionals, and protocol-oriented programming. It also takes a lot of time to get used to strict type safety and memory management in Swift, especially for teams used to garbage-collected languages. Furthermore, porting an already existing codebase to Swift is extremely time-consuming, since it requires great care in integration with legacy code and libraries. Even a startup may face resource or expertise limitations in Swift, and so investment in training and tools will be necessary to guarantee a smooth transition.
