* What is your evaluation of the proposal?
+1.
It attacks a real problem that is met regularly when working on multi-platform
code.
I also like `canImport`. As it’s gonna be used mostly after #if, the whole
statement becomes very readable.
* Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to
Swift?
Definitely. Also, now is the good time to introduce such a change, since the
multiplatform use of Swift is only getting momentum.
* Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?
I do think so. Swift was always presented with a vision of language of the
future, something that can take place of C++ in the terms of the best solution
to write multiplatform code. A great community effort has already introduced
basic support for Android, RaspberryPi, multiple Linux distros. The differences
in frameworks availability and naming are unavoidable.
* If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do
you feel that this proposal compares to those?
No, I haven’t. I’ve been bitten by problems coming from a lack of such a
feature in other languages, though.
* How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or
an in-depth study?
I’ve read the proposal and related discussion.
Cheers,
Krzysztof
