Ole Begemann and Chris Eidhoff wrote Advanced Swift, and, in there, described a really efficient FIFO queue.

I implemented a variant ofit, in my Generic Swift Toolbox Package[0]. It’s lightning fast.

Found it, but it's not what I need.

I need a target to be a playground; not a project.

The idea is to be able to assign resources, files, and SPM modules to a playground, so they are available to the code running in the playground (an example might be an SPM module like my Generic Swift Toolbox Module[0]). I can then work with the code I'm prototyping in a lightweight text file.

Tried BoldVoice right now and almost immediately hit a bit of awkwardness: “Tomorrow, we’ll work on Practice your consonant skills”. Usually I wouldn’t complain about this sort of thing, but in a language learning app it seems unfortunate. (Mozilla’s Project Fluent[1] was built to handle these situations in a localization setting, but you can probably get away with something much simpler.)

Hi! Thank you for your critique!

> 1) “Your knight has killed a dragon with a crossbow”

We have a proposal for dynamic references to address this problem - https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent/issues/80 - it's non-trivial but I hope we'll see it solved in Fluent and/or in MessageFormat 2.

> 2) The parser is extremely sensitive

True. It's on purpose. We wanted to start with strict and loosen, rather than the opposite.

> 3) The input files mandate a weird arrangement of new lines for even the simplest branching

Same as above.

> 4) The documentation is too Spartan to know what happens in edge cases.

We're a small team :)

I'm sorry to hear it doesn't work for you. I'm relieved that your criticism is seems more subjective except of one missing feature that no other l10n system has as of yet.
