Hi all, I sent the message below to swift-users@ ~a day ago, but this might be a better place to ask and gather some discussion. It is a rather minor suggestion and I'm just looking for some opinions.
Declaring a function that has default parameters currently looks like this:
func foo(bar: String = "baz") {
print(bar)
}
Now I'm wondering if there would be any problems if it were possible to omit
the type annotation for default params and let Swift's type inference handle
that.
func foo(bar = "baz") {
print(bar)
}
It feels to be equivalent to omitting type annotations with variable
declarations. Obviously more complex types would still require annotations
being specified. Off the top of my head I can't think of any negative
ramifications this might bring, be it in simple function/method declarations or
protocol extensions and elsewhere.
Any further input or examples for situations where this might cause issues
would be much appreciated :)
Cheers,
Kilian
