Just thought I’d link the previous thread on this topic: https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution/Week-of-Mon-20160704/023927.html . I had promised to write a proposal for it back then, but never got

Not “fundamentally” incompatible: var stderr = FileHandle.standardError /* Conform FileHandle to TextOutputStream */ print("foo", to: ) On Fri, Aug 18, 2017 at 01:39 Brent Royal-Gordon wrote: > On Aug 17, 2017, at 8:20 PM, Xiaodi Wu via swift-evolution < >

Re: [swift-evolution] pitch: Unified libc import (again)

Okay I can sense this thread getting derailed so I’ll try to address your comments one by one. * stderr should go wherever stdin and stdout go. Since it’d be silly for a function like `print(_:separator:terminator:)` or ` readLine(strippingNewline:)` to live anywhere but the standard library,

Re: [swift-evolution] pitch: Unified libc import (again)

I don’t think the “is this library functionality or standard library functionality” argument is worth having, but if stdout and stdin are first-class citizens in the Swift world, so should stderr. As for bringing Foundation into the discussion, you can’t really talk about Foundation without also

IMO, you’re touching on at least three or four separate topics here. Daniel touched on several, but just some comments/questions: * Standard error output is something that’s been discussed here previously. I believe the last pitch had something like StandardError being added to the standard

Re: [swift-evolution] pitch: Unified libc import (again)

Python’s os.path is a nice abstract model for doing path manipulations. Maybe Swift could get a struct like `Filepath` or something on which these operations could be done. On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 6:47 PM, Taylor Swift wrote:
