The folks at Point-Free have given us yet again a new tool to improve our Swift development: swift-dependencies, see their announcement. Let me show the journey I’ve been for the past couple of hours with excitement and discoveries with this new library.
After all the game changing announcements on the WWDC one of the words that is used a lot is “finally!”. We’re excited and happy that Apple as finally given us a new UI framework, FRP, etc. But it’s interesting how the way we all talk implies that Apple has been ignoring us for years and until they woke up in 2019.
I was reading the Rust forums when I saw this post talking about an oficial Rust error crate. It reminded me about the discussions in the Swift forums about making a bigger standard library.
Today I woke up to receive great news for the Swift community. The Swift Forums now have a new section to talk about some community projects!
Swift forums are live! This is a great change that many of us have been waiting for a long time and that marks a new era for the Swift community. I would like to take this moment to reflect on the state of Swift and express some of my wishes for 2018.
Good analysis of the rejected Swift proposals by Chris.
Since Swift was open sourced I’ve ben scanning trough the mailing lists and there has been some interesting proposals for the future of the language. There are other places were people summarizes the conversation, but I just wanted to write here the proposals that are the most interest to me.
The last post of this blog was inspired by Artsy, and so is this one. I swear I don’t do it in purpose ^^
I realized that we all should write and share more.
