> What is your evaluation of the proposal? A somewhat reluctant +1. I like the sugar but Chris makes a good case about the ambiguities and the move away from functional tradition. I am a bit sad about the need for parentheses but it seems like maybe it's for the best.
I also must admit that increased consistency of adding the parentheses will probably make the language a bit easier to learn for those not coming from a functional background. > Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to > Swift? It cleans up function type syntax to match other recent changes. > Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift? Yes, especially Swift 3 direction. > If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do > you feel that this proposal compares to those? I really like the very clean syntax of functional languages which is why I am a little bit disappointed to see us add what looks like clutter when seen from a functional perspective. > How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or > an in-depth study? Participated in the original thread, read the proposal and all replies, and gave some thought to the balance of aesthetics and clarity (especially removing ambiguity). > More information about the Swift evolution process is available at > > https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/process.md > Thank you, > > Doug Gregor > > Review Manager > > > _______________________________________________ > swift-evolution-announce mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution-announce
