I want WebKit to adopt suggested/conventional Swift style, maybe with some well-reasoned (and agreed on) project-specific tweaks. I don’t know if there is added value in having source files of two different languages follow one style? Swift is vaguely C-lang styled, but otherwise it’s a very different programming language and we don’t necessarily need it to look the same as C++.
There may be specific issues with the existing Swift style format enforced in the project that we may want to debate, but for the most part it seems best to just use as much of the defaults opined by swift-format. > On Nov 4, 2026, at 4:46 AM, Jean-Yves Avenard via webkit-dev > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > >> On 4 Nov 2026, at 2:55 am, Ryosuke Niwa via webkit-dev >> <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hi all, >> >> As we adopt more Swift in cross-platform parts of WebKit, we need to decide >> what kind of coding styles we’d adhere to. >> >> I suggest that we adopt the existing C++ coding style guidelines for Swift >> with one modification: curly braces around a single-line statement are >> mandatory in Swift. >> >> Thoughts? > > +1 > > _______________________________________________ > webkit-dev mailing list -- [email protected] > To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
