My main thought is that, although I use these types in my iOS and Mac apps all the time, I think I've used a rectangle type in web development maybe once (when I was generating images). Swift is currently used mainly for GUI programming, but most of the domains it's expanding into are ones where it doesn't need those types. -- Brent Royal-Gordon Architechies _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
