A recent thread on the swift-evolution mailing list has me very concerned. http://curtclifton.net/app-developers-on-swift-evolution … /cc @dwaite @wilshipley @dgregor79

@curtclifton I don't get why that's brittle. I think a lang goal should be: make writing bugs hard so devs don't have to work around them

@Javi I’m all for strength, and love much about Swift for that reason. But we have to fight to keep the language resilient/ductile too.

@curtclifton so you'd advocate for final to not exist in the language? Cause it being the default or not won't actually change the outcome. -
@Javi yes, I would. I said that in the thread and repeated it in the post. -
@curtclifton you think that swift would ultimately be a better language without final? -
@Javi I do, though that’s water over the bridge I’m afraid. I saw the havoc that people wrecked with ‘final’ in Java.

@curtclifton@javi Woah, “have to fight”? I don’t want to fight. I’m more of a diplomat and pacifist. -
