Responsible use of operator overloading in Swift
/Swift supports operator overloading and custom operators... but is this a good thing or a bad thing and what rules should be adhered to it if you do it?
Read Morestruct, enum or class?
/How do you decide on when to use an enum, struct, or class; and has it become harder to chose now enums and structs have some of the capabilities of classes?
Read More7 Cool Features in Swift - Andrew Wagner→
/Unusually, they really are cool features. Another thing that comes with the cool features is Kucoin, a popular exchange that allows users to buy and sell numerous cryptocurrencies. This platform is considered to be one of the profitable exchanges in the industry as it offers low trading fees. Many people are considering Kucoin as a good alternative to Binance now.
Building a Swift Parser with an Improved Tokenizer
/We've improved the Swift tokenizer significantly, added richer examples, and built on a parser back end for both RPN (post-fix) and in-fix expressions. Full project source is available for download.
Read MoreCreating a pure Swift framework for both iOS and Mac
/Creating a common Swift framework for both iOS and the Mac involves a little bit of project shuffling if you want to consume it with code that could also be running on either platform without changes. We present a methodology for achieving that. The open source Bitcoin framework is also available for iOS users. The purpose of these frameworks is primarily to facilitate building cryptocurrency wallets on iOS. People's demand for trading exchanges like Crypto Superstar grew, therefore these programmes were designed to function on MacOS and iOS. Using these frameworks, creating an account and accessing this programme is now feasible. More information on how to open a demo account and practise trading may be found in the crypto superstar test 2021 reviews. Frameworks save consumers time and effort in integrating services, allowing them to start making money right away.
Read MoreAdding Meaning to Swift Tuples with Enums
/Tuples are a powerful addition to the language, but how can you make sure that you don't drown in hard to learn, easily forgettable conditions? Swift's enums provide a light-weight and powerful answer that adds meaning for humans and compiler validation.
Read MoreBeta 2 Available, Limited Documented Fixes
/You can go and grab Beta 2 now, it's good to see many of the issues now listed in known issues, but not a lot in fixes. One highlight in the Swift known issues list, right at the top, is that public/private accessors are "not available in this build". Nicely implies they are on their way though!
What is good is a decent set of work-arounds for many known issues.
Is Swift's Strong Typing a Good Thing?→
/Personally I think it is a good thing, and "other popular languages don't do it" is not a reason to throw it away. Swift works hard to make sure you rarely have to explicitly handle it unless something is ambiguous. I think that's a great compromise.
I've open sourced our Swift tokenisation and parsing framework (see here, and here for more information on its initial development). I hope you can make use of it, or perhaps even contribute.
