Hello, everyone!
I wanna propose to you to remove force unwrapping in fuction signature for
swift code. That no sense in clear swift code. If we wanna use some optional
value as function param, that is not optional, we must unwrap it before
function call.
People who new in swift look at how they old Obj-C code (without nullability
modifiers) translate in to swift:
Obj-C:
- (void)foo:(NSInteger)bar {
//...
}
Swift transaliton:
func foo(bar: Int!) {
//...
}
And think that force unwrapping in signature is good practice. And start write
functions in clear swift code like this:
func newFoo(bar: Int!) {
//...
}
and use it like this:
let bar: Int? = 1
newFoo(bar)
And it really work, and they does not think that this can crash in case if
`bar` will be `nil`.
But in clear swift we wanna work with parametrs in function that clearly or
optional, or not.
func newFoo(bar: Int) {
//...
}
or
func newFoo(bar: Int?) {
//...
}
When we write a new function we know what we need in this case and use optional
params or not.
So my proposal is remove force unwrapping(`!`) from function signatures, cause
it have no sense, and that confuse new users.
