Is Protocol Oriented Swift Better than Object Oriented Swift?

This article analyzes a Reddit discussion on whether protocol-oriented programming (POP) is better than object-oriented programming (OOP) in Swift. It uses a 'laundry service' analogy to illustrate OOP's encapsulation and inheritance, then critiques OOP for requiring deep knowledge of internals when subclassing. The article argues that POP offers more flexible, composable abstractions without the tight coupling of inheritance, making it a preferred approach for Swift developers. It targets programmers interested in Swift, software design patterns, and modern coding paradigms.
