I really feel like the number of modifiers and decorators and annotations 
etc....has reached the point of illegibility.

<phrase><pronoun>It</pronoun><verb tense="present>is</verb><adverb 
modifies="is" 
purpose="intensifier">really</adverb><adjective>ridiculous</adjective><phrase>

That's what trying to read swift is getting to be like.

Trying to make every single nuance explicit is a fool's errand and is killing 
readability. 

Also, the choice to discard a result is properly the provenance of the caller, 
not an intrinsic feature of a function.

I'll stop now.
