@mpweiher @jckarter @gte @phink0 But in practice you can't really simulate it with inheritance in Obj-C for non-object types.

5:08 PM, May 31st, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mpweiher

@mpweiher Separate class, separate methods names is fine. But then no reason to subclass. Also, fast enumeration won’t work.

8:17 AM, May 31st, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mpweiher

@mpweiher @jckarter @gte @phink0 And it doesn’t work with enumeration, etc.?

3:19 PM, May 30th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mjtsai

@mpweiher @jckarter @gte @phink0 Obj-C generics don’t address this. What use is a subclass if all the method names are different?

3:18 PM, May 30th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mjtsai

@mpweiher @jckarter @gte @phink0 An NSArray subclass is limited by the interface requiring everything to be an object.

2:22 PM, May 30th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mpweiher

@phink0 @jckarter @mpweiher Transitions aren’t fun, but I mostly find Swift more pleasant and like that it tries to do Unicode right.

9:18 PM, May 29th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to phink0

@jckarter @mpweiher @phink0 @wilshipley I’ve only been timing different Swift versions vs. Marco’s original. Didn’t test Obj-C.

10:30 AM, May 29th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@mpweiher @jckarter @phink0 @wilshipley You can see in Hopper that it’s only passing NSAnchoredSearch.

10:22 AM, May 29th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mpweiher

@mpweiher @jckarter @phink0 @wilshipley If you look at the code, Swift is using kCFCompareNonliteral and NSString is not.

10:20 AM, May 29th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mpweiher

@jckarter @phink0 @mpweiher @wilshipley About 10%.

9:58 AM, May 29th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@jckarter @phink0 @mpweiher @wilshipley In XCTest, I found ($0 as NSString) only 5% faster and $0.utf16.startswith 34% faster.

9:53 AM, May 29th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@phink0 @mpweiher @wilshipley The Foundation -hasPrefix: does an exact compare; maybe Swift stdlib one does a fancy Unicode compare.

9:31 AM, May 29th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to phink0

@mpweiher @phink0 @wilshipley That’s very interesting. Have you tried profiling it? Bridging overhead?

8:56 AM, May 29th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mpweiher

@danielpunkass I don’t think this is really talking about the same issue.

3:42 PM, May 26th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to danielpunkass

@mergesort Also, the “dynamic” in that post is about “dynamic dispatch,” i.e. virtual methods, not message sending or typing.

3:38 PM, May 26th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mergesort

@mergesort Your “hybrid” point seems to be undermined by the fact that he also calls Objective-C hybrid.

3:37 PM, May 26th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mergesort

@mpweiher @alexisgallagher Yes, I think that’s a interesting direction. People will use the toolbox if you provide a good one.

11:42 AM, May 25th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mpweiher

@alexisgallagher @mpweiher Here’s to the crazy ones.

11:28 AM, May 25th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to alexisgallagher

@hatfinch Yes.

11:00 AM, May 25th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to hatfinch

@hatfinch @gte I’m using it now because I would rather maintain code than a model file, and planning to use it to adapt model to data.

10:53 AM, May 25th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to hatfinch

@hatfinch @gte And, among other things, that means your model doesn’t have to be fixed at compile time.

10:24 AM, May 25th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to hatfinch

@hatfinch @gte I get that. But Core Data doesn’t itself require code generation to make NSManagedObject work.

10:22 AM, May 25th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to hatfinch

@mpweiher I believe that’s the most important point. I want people to be able to explore these alternatives from outside the compiler.

10:01 AM, May 25th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mpweiher

@gte Or code generation.

@Callionica Not desirable in this case because then it wouldn’t look right when printing the value.

11:25 PM, May 24th, 2016 via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to Callionica

@jckarter I was more thinking about getting a method reference from an operator. For example, I can write Int.successor but not Int.+ or +

9:45 PM, May 24th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@jckarter Aha, I was used to the way Python does it. Good to know. Can you do that with an operator or only a named method?

9:33 PM, May 24th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@jckarter That is wild. How is it that if x is a Derived and I do (x=>Base.f)() it ends up calling Derived.f()?

9:26 PM, May 24th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@jckarter That would be nice. Right now, Any is hard to do much with.

8:57 PM, May 24th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@jckarter I don’t think that really helps me in this case (making something like XCTAssertEqual()), but it’s a good tip. Thanks.

8:56 PM, May 24th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@jckarter Is there a way to compare to Anys that I know are both Equatable inside?

@atomicbird In my case, it seems to just be noting that various apps are listening for watches.

@petermaurer I’ve used it. Apple uses it in Mail.

12:31 PM, May 24th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to petermaurer

@petermaurer I wonder whether that’s considered a bug.

9:24 AM, May 24th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to petermaurer

@siegel I’ve already received replies from two different support people (same case number). One asked for the .ipa file…

@bwebster Such Obj-C partisans that Gus writes part of his app in JS, I write an app in Python, and Marcel is making his own language.

3:18 PM, May 23rd, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to bwebster

@siegel Yep. And the iTC, DTS, and Radar people don’t seem to be able to look up each other’s case numbers.

2:50 PM, May 23rd, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to siegel

@mpweiher I see this as adding optional static features rather than removing dynamic ones.

11:48 AM, May 21st, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mpweiher

@mpweiher Which dynamic features were removed from Objective-C?

10:42 AM, May 21st, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mpweiher

@wadeco @danielpunkass @willco007 APIs that don’t work from the sandbox should be documented as such. :(

7:31 PM, May 20th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to wadeco

@rosyna @danielpunkass Yes, but you’re not allowed to query ASL so that defeats the purpose.

7:29 PM, May 20th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to rosyna

@danielpunkass Yep, I think that’s the way to go.

6:06 PM, May 20th, 2016 via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to danielpunkass

@danielpunkass Yes. Thought maybe you were using your own custom logging function.

6:04 PM, May 20th, 2016 via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to danielpunkass

@danielpunkass And do you redirect NSLog to catch messages logged by the frameworks for your process?

6:02 PM, May 20th, 2016 via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to danielpunkass

@danielpunkass That’s great except if there’s a related error logged by another process that you don’t control.

11:03 AM, May 16th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to czechboy0

@czechboy0 I did write about that. What bothered me is that SwiftKey was withholding non-network features if I didn’t give it network access

3:46 PM, May 14th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to czechboy0

@czechboy0 When I looked at SwiftKey, I didn’t want any of the cloud features, yet it wouldn’t let me swipe without granting access.

3:39 PM, May 14th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to czechboy0

@czechboy0 It still feels like a different situation to me because it’s obvious that Gboard would need network access to offer search.

3:39 PM, May 14th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to czechboy0

@czechboy0 Other than that, I’m not sure what lies you think I’m spreading.

3:38 PM, May 14th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to czechboy0

@czechboy0 I retract the first half of that tweet, which was based on my faulty memory of 2014.

3:37 PM, May 14th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to mjtsai

@czechboy0 What I wrote was based on info from the SwiftKey Web site and app. Let me get back to you when I’m back at my Mac.

12:35 PM, May 14th, 2016 via Tweetbot for iΟS in reply to czechboy0

@czechboy0 Different situation because SwiftKey was sending regular typing to them. Gboard only sends searches.

@jckarter Will try to make a good example and file a bug. I suspect the runtime APIs are there, just that patching is easier from Obj-C.

3:57 PM, May 11th, 2016 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to jckarter

@jckarter Also if you want to use the static analyzer…

@jckarter Not done with app yet, but: handling exceptions raised by Cooca, avoiding bridging overhead for large plists, Obj-C runtime stuff.
