Kevin Wooten commented on THRIFT-3049:
--------------------------------------
My attempt at modernizing the Cocoa implementation THRIFT-2905 includes many
changes to support Swift. Although this isn't a Swift implementation the
changes do make using the generated in Swift much more natural. The changes
also allow implementing protocols and transports in Swift properly because
NSException has been removed entirely and replaced with NSError; this also
means Swift 2's error handling makes implementing things in Swift easier than
ObjC.
I'll be adding the new nullability qualifiers (nonnull & nullable) and
lightweight Objective-C generics in my next pass. The current pull request is
here https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/539
> As an iOS developer, I want a generator and library that produces Swift code
