The Swift optimizer has matured dramatically since 2017, to the point where I think this benchmark would almost certainly not result in a 3x power usage/4x slowdown compared to C. On the current benchmark game, many of the purely algor

I don’t know much about rust specifically, but the overflow traps happen in debug (i.e. -O0) builds, and are not emitted when optimizations are enabled. LLVM’s constant folding and canonicalization passes will convert (x * 2) / 2 from

-swift-version 3 really just turns on some different paths through the parser and type checker to allow previously-valid Swift 3 code to survive to code generation time. They're both compatible

I have the strange feeling this will really only be used to enforce the copyrights of large music and movie industry corporations and will not be effective at protecting the IP of independent creators.

The author completely missed the point of named parameters. How am I supposed to know that the string argument of "make_window" is the title?

Apple uses XMPP internally as a way to securely communicate. Doesn't really change much; just thought that'd be an interesting thing to throw out.

Surprisingly salient and cogent points for an article that's so hostile and willfully ignorant. The author is correct about when to use both, and I'm glad he doesn't discount structs entirely like I've seen from some OOP

Why no mention of GCD here? GCD is very, very good at synchronizing access to shared resources. The most Cocoa-compatible way of handling background execution of expensive procedures is always going to be best executed, quickest, using Gran

Seems like performance always works in Swift's favor when the compiler is able to reason about the types (e.g. no AnyObject nonsense, banishing the objc dynamic behavior). Interesting to see Generics performing so poorly, though.
