July 27th is last day for breaking source changes for Swift 3...so I thought I would bring this up one final time.
Opinions: - .self and .Self do not adequately convey what they do without some mental gymnastics - self has somewhat two meanings (accessing a property on the type and getting the type of the object) - We can get into a funky situation where we have self.someVar.self which looks odd (though symmetric!) - What do we call these two selves? Postfix and prefix self? (I.e. Is it googleable?) Ideas: - rename to .type and .Type - more bikeshedding? There has to be a better way to express these types other than .self and .Self Brandon _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
