The fact that you bring up a style in a proposal review [about a style imo] (and thus distracting the review process ) just reinforces the thinking that the proposal is about enforcing a particular style. I think you made your point clearly in the discussions and proposal. Please allow other people to have their own opinions in this review :), otherwise it is not a review imo. > But 80-character lines is a common style, and I would say that a corollary of > "to each their own" is that Swift's grammar should be usable and useful > whether or not you adhere to such style choices. > > If the chief advantage of `where` is that it (quoting someone above) allows > one to "understand as much as possible about the control flow of the loop > from a single line of code," then we ought perhaps to question its > appropriateness when the majority of its benefits [by which I mean, based on > your examples and Sean's, more than half of the instances in which it is > used] cannot be realized in a very common coding style. > > _______________________________________________ > swift-evolution mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
