ASF GitHub Bot commented on THRIFT-3773: ---------------------------------------- Github user apocolipse commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1084 Its just a proposal so far, i don't think it'll be implemented for Swift 3 (but i havent been keeping close track, correct me if i'm wrong) It'll make more sense to do once Swift4 drops and SPM is beefed up. > 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 > Assignee: Chris Simpson > > 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 (v6.3.15#6346)
