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!
