@gregheo Regarding SE-0180, the proposal is in Active Review but there is already a PR opened that implements it. Is that normal?

[BasThomas]

@garricn: on an active proposal with its implementation already done: that happens from time to time, yep!

[gregheo]

@garricn normal, as Bas mentioned. It's not merged in, so it's a good chance to get an early look and then spot some issues as happened here

[garricn]

I enjoy these Swift puzzles. I hope to see more: https://twitter.com/codafi_/status/878330155642396673

Brisk, a macOS app for submitting radars (mentioned before in this publication) hits v1.0 and a quick 1.0.1 follow-up release

[garricn]

This seems interesting: can anyone give me some thoughts on this... It looks like it addresses multiple radars. https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/10565

Swift unwrapped 😊

[jessesquires]

@gregheo's disappointing post that the new encoders are just wrappers around NSJSONSerialization.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[gregheo]

@jessesquires the post was disappointing, or the conclusion was disappointing?! 😈

[modocache]

Apple developed index-while-building on their internal Clang fork in time for Xcode 9. The changes are being merged to swift-clang, the Swift project's fork of Clang, in apple/swift-clang pull request 95 (87 files changed, 9,127 lines added, 30 lines deleted!). As far as I can tell, there isn't a diff up for this on the upstream Clang repository, but I'm not sure.

[garricn]

@jessesquires @gregheo @BasThomas Anyone find anything interesting re:

1. Proposals (Proposed/Accepted/Rejected/)
2. Mailing Lists
3. Starter Tasks

Thank you.

[BasThomas]

1. SE-0180 is back in review: https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/commit/8de3eb3e9e075999035ec5083bf5ffef73086dcf (might still get accepted / rejected tomorrow?)
   SE-0177 is being revised as well. There are some details on the mailing list.
2. Ben Cohen also just opened a PR on Swift-evolution; not sure in what form that has been pitched / discussed on the mailing lists already. Erica Sadun also pitched a !! operator: https://gist.github.com/erica/423e4b1c63b95c4c90338cdff4939a9b

[garricn]

Anything else on the mailing lists?

[gregheo]

re Ben's PR mentioned by Bas above — details on...the mailing list.

[garricn]

@jessesquires @BasThomas It appears that there are no new starter tasks. Am I correct? Shall I just include some old ones?

[jessesquires]

@garricn feel free to just omit the starter task section (or any other section if there's nothing to add) 😄

[jessesquires]

Thanks folks for all the fantastic work! 💯

I merged #281, fixed some typos, and added some pull quotes for the mailing list items. Looks like everything is good to go!

@garricn The last thing to do is move the issue from _drafts/ to _posts/ in the morning. 👏

[jessesquires]

@gregheo the conclusion 😅😂

[garricn]

Will do.

[garricn]

I didn't want to push to master so I opened #283 @BasThomas @gregheo

[gregheo]

Congrats @garricn! 🎉

[garricn]

Thank you for the opportunity and for helping so much with the issue. It was fun and I look forward to doing it again! 😁

[jessesquires]

Thanks so much @garricn!
