The former is what Apple’s recommending in the Swift guidelines, so it’s 
probably the more future-proof of the two.

I’ve always felt this style to read more naturally, too. 

if thisArray.isEmpty { doSomething() } // reads as “If this array is empty, do 
something."

if thisArray.empty { doSomething() } // reads as “Grok say this array empty! 
Grok do something! GRARRRGH! ::conks you on the head with a club::"
