A couple people have pointed at least part of this out, but just to underline it: "Objective-C" is able to be small only because it's sandwiched between C and Foundation, both of which are pretty big. A Swift book that discussed only non-generic classes and protocols without associated types would be pretty short, too. -- Brent Royal-Gordon Architechies _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolution@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
