@leebennett @FlickrHelp Not sure. It sounded me like he thought only Facebook was getting a different share controller.
@brentsimmons @tofias Plus, it may be the app itself (windows, preferences, etc.) that you want to script, rather than the underlying data.
@tofias @brentsimmons It's still useful for the app itself to be scriptable. IMAP is like an API, but people still want to script Mail.

@nuoji Agreed.
@grynspan @ameaijou @gparker python -c "from Foundation import *; print NSProcessInfo.processInfo().isOperatingSystemAtLeastVersion_"
@ameaijou @gparker @grynspan Yes, I just checked 10.9.5 and the method seems to be there (and work).
@grynspan @gparker I know that’s what you recommend, but I've been bitten before by -respondsToSelector: and previously private API.
@gparker @grynspan calls to -mjtIsYosemiteOrBetter so it is very clear when I can eventually remove the check.
@gparker @grynspan I do checks like this this way because: (1) method might have existed before, but undocumented (2) I end up with
@grynspan Yeah, I never quite understood the old system. Always found myself hardcoding latest version since didn't have access to constant.
@danielpunkass Future Daniel will thank you.
@grynspan Yeah, that’s what I use if the other version says it’s at least 10.10. Much more readable.

@rob_rix So it doesn't work if f takes an array instead of a SequenceType?
@rosyna Interesting that they added hash ivar for NSIndexPath. NSStringDrawing is a category so not sure what you are referring to there.
@rob_rix How can you do that if the sequence you receive is not final?
@rob_rix Yes, that is nice.
@rob_rix Wonder how often that is. I would think you’re usually passed in a collection and don’t know its type.
@rob_rix Right, I meant how NSFastEnumeration was designed to avoid message sends.
@rob_rix that slow or that the batching isn’t that worth it.
@rob_rix Yeah, just seems like an odd omission given the focus on performance. Seems like conclusion is either that message sending was not
@rosyna So, again, this is not (yet) an actual performance improvement resulting from Objective-C 2.
@rob_rix So no batching.
@rosyna But it didn’t break compatibility, and in fact NSEnumerator conforms to NSFastEnumeration (though probably not very fast).
Is there any optimization like NSFastEnumeration (batch fetching, detecting mutations) in Swift? SequenceType doesn’t seem to do that.
@rosyna So why are they still using it now that we have Objective-C 2?
@rosyna I kind of doubt removing old ivars from view classes makes up for slowing down every ivar access with extra indirection.
@rosyna Non-fragile is great for other reasons, but if we're talking about optimization…
@rosyna Compiler support, yes. But I thought we were talking about breaking backward compatibility.
@rosyna Why wouldn't fast enumeration have been possible before? Were there really a lot of unused ivars removed?
@rosyna That's a good one.

@cjwl @landonfuller I thought half the fun with LINQ is that it knows the type of everything. Just not a good match for Objective-C.
@mikeash @landonfuller Mainly because of Apple, but it was a gaping hole that no one else had filled. And now there’s an ecosystem.
@landonfuller Could LINQ work well in Xcode without special support (just Swift auto-complete)?
@landonfuller Right. Do you see Apple making Swift-only APIs any time soon? Or could a third-party LINQ gain traction?
@landonfuller LINQ looks great. Lots of issues with Core Data, but it does have traction.
@landonfuller Not sure what your “it’s” refers to. But I agree that it’s a good thing to move beyond OO as the solution to everything.
