Mattt on Swift Operators

26 Aug 2014 • inessential.com

Maybe in a year or two we’ll nominate someone suitably diligent — Manton Reece, perhaps — to try a custom operator in his code. We’ll ask him to report monthly on his health and well-being, and after another year — if he hasn’t ripped it out of his code, if he isn’t suffering from any ill effects (blurred vision, headaches, joint pain) — we’ll ask him to post it as a gist so we can see it.

Then let’s take another year to decide who can go next. After a decade or two we’ll have an idea whether or not cautious, limited use of custom operators is okay in some rare situations.
