@gregheo @BasThomas @garricn anyone up for an issue? No pressure! 😄

[gregheo]

@jessesquires I feel pressured now. If you're planning ahead, I can take the issue for 9/14 (issue 87?) That gives me the required month to craft a poem.

[jessesquires]

@gregheo sounds good!

Also, @jessesquires, I am quite busy at the moment. Will let you know when I have time and would gladly write an issue then!

[jessesquires]

@BasThomas -- where's that quote from?

[RomanVolkov]

@jessesquires answer for your previous question: https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution/Week-of-Mon-20170814/038891.html
last paragraph.

[BasThomas]

@RomanVolkov is right. :)

[jessesquires]

Ha! Derp! 😅 😳
