Swift is a general-purpose programming language built using a modern approach to safety, performance, and software design patterns.| Swift.org
Hey all, As Swift evolves, it gains new language features and capabilities. One of the ways in which it grows is via new syntactic sugar to eliminate common boilerplate, taking something that can be written out in long-form and making it more concise. Such features don't technically add any expressive power to the language, because you can always write the long-form version, but their effect can be transformational if it enables use cases that would otherwise have been unwieldy. Such language...| Swift Forums
Hi all, Introduction The “Complete Generics” goal for Swift 3 has been fairly ill-defined thus fair, with just this short blurb in the list of goals: Complete generics: Generics are used pervasively in a number of Swift libraries, especially the standard library. However, there are a number of generics features the standard library requires to fully realize its vision, including recursive protocol constraints, the ability to make a constrained extension conform to a new protocol (i.e., an...| Swift Forums
A PR with this document can be found here Swift Concurrency Roadmap Our goal is to make concurrent programming in Swift convenient, efficient, and safe. This document outlines a number of proposed additions and changes to the language to achieve this, through the implementation of asynchronous functions and actors. These additions will be proposed separately, but they will in many cases depend on each other. This document serves to join them together. Unlike a manifesto, which might describe...| Swift Forums
