iOS Too heavy for this playground...

Fired up Xcode 6 for the first time and excitedly opened a new playground, and I crashed it within 60 seconds by changing the "var" statement in a template to a "let" statement and then back to a "var".

Whoops.

It kind of reminds me of when I learned that the weight limit for those swings you can buy at Toys R Us is 80 pounds.

Edit:

And I did it again. It lasted about 3 minutes before simply crashing on me. I can't tell what it is that I'm doing that causes it to crash, although I must say I can crash it swiftly. It looks fairly promising, I just wish it would let me play with it longer before it collapses under its own weight.

Mine crashed a fair amount in the playground also. So much that I gave up and just went back to learning Objective-C. I'll wait until it's out of beta.

To those saying you haven't had it crash, try typing this in:

Code: 
var a = 1
var b = 2
(a, b) = (b, a)

I'm not sure whether that should or should not work, but it's the shortest way I know of swapping variables in languages like Python, so I wanted to see if it would work in Swift. I've managed to crash Xcode 3 times in a row by typing variants of that.

As soon as I type the close paren on the first (a,b), Xcode crashes. Did it multiple times in a row, tried rebooting and running again, but error at same spot. This was in 10.9.3 on a non admin account.

Same thing happens to me. It won't even let me finish the a before crashing.

Code: 
var a = 1
var b = 2

let total = a + 0
let summary = "\(total)"

I have the same experience. Seems to crash very quickly when it encounters any largish array or tuple. I'm trying to solve Project Euler issues using Swift and crashing constantly kind of takes the fun out of it.

Tested it in Beta 2 - it seems to allow me to type a bit more of my example before crashing, but it crashes after the closing parenthesis in (a, b).
