I think it would be great mentioning about PR Add Unit Testing Infrastructure for swift-corelibs-xctest. Maybe someone will help proceeding with this PR.

URLSession Test Fest

If you’ve been wondering how to make a meaningful contribution, this is the perfect time. It’d be great to greatly expand both unit test and higher level test coverage of URLSession.

I don't think it's a recent thing, but @calebd turned me on to https://fossies.org/dox/swift-swift-3.0.2-RELEASE/, and it's changing my life. You can type in the name of any class in the Swift compiler C++ source code, and it'll show you class diagrams, documentation, and more. Suuuuper helpful.

[gregheo]

@modocache that is AMAZING! I looked up what I thought would make the scariest class diagram and wasn't disappointed 😄 (https://fossies.org/dox/swift-swift-3.0.2-RELEASE/structVisitNodeResult.html)
