I disagree, I think the more self documenting the code is, the better. It's also nice with code completion because when I start typing a function, I'm given a list of all the overloads for that function, and when I pick one I get all the arguments sitting there ready for me to fill in.


You still get that with traditional languages that don’t use keywords like java. With Swift you have to read a lot more to get the right function since many vary in the number and type of parameters.
