Is Protocol Oriented Swift Better than Object Oriented Swift?

This article examines the debate between Protocol-Oriented Programming (POP) and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Swift, sparked by a Reddit discussion. It uses a 'laundry service' analogy to explain how OOP encapsulates complexity but can be problematic when developers need to customize behavior through inheritance, requiring deep knowledge of internal details. The article contrasts this with POP, suggesting protocols offer more flexible and less coupled design. It is relevant to software development and programming paradigms in Swift.
