    The Swift Programming Language

  • His complaint about the bug being closed is weird to me. Swift went through a lot of changes in the early years. Everyone was aware of this. He also had plenty of time to find a work around, and what he was trying to do was trying to do was a bit weird and I would argue is fighting against how Swift works. It’s weird to have a protocol, a base class that conforms to the protocol but is not actually meant to be used, and then a subclass with the actual implementation. There is no need for the base class. He seems to be trying to use it as an abstract class or something as far as I can tell, but that is what protocols are for.

    Finally, it seems that the behavior he was complaining about was largely changed 2 years before the blog was even written. https://github.com/apple/swift/issues/49631

    I agree with him that JavaScript is a terrible language and I also take a utilitarian approach to programming languages.

    WebAssembly support for the Swift programming language (by swiftwasm)

  • The experience has really improved the last few months thanks to the Swift Server Work Group [3].

    - Apple platforms have their own Foundation implementation and the open-source one is incomplete.
