@RomanVolkov I just pushed an initial draft template in _drafts/ 😄

[BasThomas]

I think Roman already made a branch for that? 😬

[jessesquires]

Oops! I'll merge into there.

[jessesquires]

Pretty good overview of the new encoders/decoders:

[RomanVolkov]

Yeah, I made a branch for that :)
@jessesquires how you decided what merge/pull requests it's better to include into weekly update? E.g., I see big conversation about "Unwrap or Die" operator or "Feature Proposal to improve Mixed Frameworks support"

[jessesquires]

@RomanVolkov -- anything that you think is interesting! if you are unsure, post a link here and @SwiftWeekly/writers can help decide if it's worth including or not 😄

I think Erica's "unwrap or die" should be included 👍

@jessesquires / @RomanVolkov - do know that Erica's pitch was already included in last week's Brief: https://github.com/SwiftWeekly/swiftweekly.github.io/blob/master/_posts/2017-06-29-issue-76.md#mailing-lists. So make sure to not repeat just that. ;)

Perhaps relevant to people interested in Swift: as mentioned in LLVM Weekly, LLVM's bug tracker now has a "beginner" keyword, akin to Swift JIRA's "StarterBug" label. There's only one "beginner" bug right now, but if you know people on the Swift team who work on swift-clang or swift-llvm, you should pester them to label more bugs as "beginner". You can view all of the beginner LLVM bugs here.

wdyt about
https://github.com/fastred/DeallocationChecker
https://github.com/unnamedd/swift-evolution-backend sources codes as example of production swift backend code
and this https://github.com/hetelek/Neural-Network-Playground for iPads?

[RomanVolkov]

closed by mistake!

[BasThomas]

The Weekly is more about the Swift.org project, not really open source Swift projects. :)

[RomanVolkov]

@BasThomas good point💯

[jessesquires]

@RomanVolkov -- looking great! 💯 I push some minor edits and opened #287. 😄

[RomanVolkov]

@jessesquires it is obvious that you are doing this not for the first time:) Your formulations are really better than mine😀👍🏻

[jessesquires]

@RomanVolkov haha 😄 you're doing great! 💯
