Chris Simpson commented on THRIFT-3773: --------------------------------------- I'm a bit biased since I wrote it, but I can say that my company is starting to use this in production code with our next iOS push. > Swift Library > ------------- > > Key: THRIFT-3773 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3773 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Swift - Library > Reporter: Thomas Bartelmess > > We already have the option to generate Swift code in the Cocoa compiler, > however large parts of the (Objective-C) Cocoa Library still depend on Cocoa > and Objective-C. > It would be good to have a native Swift library that doesn't depend on the > Cocoa libraries. > Design goals: > - Fully compatible with the code that is currently generated by the Cocoa > compiler (both Objective-C and Swift). > - Ability to run on Linux > - Pure Swift, no Objective-C code. > - No dependencies on closed source apple libraries > - Keep the same interface, so that the library is compatible with the code > the current cocoa compiler generates > - Better server support that the current Objective-C library. > - Follow the new Swift packaging format to be compatible with the Swift > Package manager -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
