P.S. Can't find atm but there was a great podcast episode about different build systems for Swift. Differences between bazel and buck.

I missed pointing this out last issue from https://forums.swift.org/t/returned-for-revision-se-0258-property-delegates/24080:

I'd like to thank the community for its patience and its commitment. I know we've had a lot of proposals recently, and some of them have been contentious, and it can be a lot of work to keep up with Swift Evolution. You really are appreciated; thank you for everything you do to help make Swift a better language.

I think that warrant posting :)
