Well, if the community likes it so much. Have fun with it. I will leave as I
have left the Developer Forums at Apple because they became unusable.

I starting to think that myself. I was very active at the beginning of Swift
(way before the open sourcing) but I absolutely don’t like the increasing
influence of functional programming on it. I despise fp and don’t want it in
Swift. If people want it that much use Haskell 8(

I don’t think that Discourse is salvageable but go on. But I don’t know how one
could rip out this big piece of JavaScript and keep ist functional.

You don’t have to care for me - Swift 4 will be the deciding step if I throw
any Swift work away and return to Objective-C. The heavy functional programming
push since open sourcing is so annoying and made Swift imo a worse language.
