Hi Swift developers,
nice to meet you all in this list.
While having a look at Swift's source code, I am not able to really answer
myself two questions:
1) How much and what types of interfaces with non-Swift code is there in the
standard library and the runtime? I have seen references to the "Builtin"
class, that as I understand is directly implemented in LLVM IR language, and
also calls to C++ functions ("SwiftShims" is full of that). Is there any more
"boundary" with non-Swift parts of the implementation?
2) Are you aware of any project out there that aims to minimize, or at least
make more consistent, the amount of references to non-Swift functions and types
in the standard library? I know about Pure Swift's "SwiftFoundation" and other
artifacts of them, but as far as I know they do not dig into the standard
library.
Thanking you in advance for the answers!
Cheers,
David_______________________________________________
