• Renaming all methods which operate on more than one element at the beginning/end to use "prefix" or "suffix", not "first" or "last"
+1 • Renaming `index(of:/where:)` to `earliestIndex(…)` and `first(where:)` to `earliest(where:)` -1, because `index` is considered state-of-art. `first` does not exist in all languages, but `earliest` is used nowhere. • Renaming the `drop` methods to use `removing` +0.5, because drop functions came from functional languages, but removingPrefix is much more to-the-point than dropFirst. • Redesigning `prefix(upTo:)`, `prefix(through:)` and `suffix(from:)` as subscripts with "partial" ranges, like `people[..<idx]` or perhaps `people[nil..<idx]`. -1, because prefix and suffix are state-of-art again, plus they match the theme you are proposing, while subscripts do not. _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolution@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
