inessential

@inessential @brentsimmons Yes, currently Swift isn't just missing Objective-C dynamic stuff like swizzling, but even Java-style reflection.

@mjtsai @brentsimmons Considering how fast Swift has been changing, it's hard to get much of a head of steam behind any specific complaint.

@siracusa @brentsimmons My guess is that Swift will eventually gain reflection but (alas) continue to have classes non-@objc by default.

@mjtsai @brentsimmons Unlike the Cylons, I'm going to assume that @clattner_llvm really does have a plan that we're not yet privy to.

@siracusa @brentsimmons Agreed, but is the plan for a systems language or an app language? Are they dogfooding any major apps?

@inessential @brentsimmons I believe KVO only works on Swift classes that inherit from NSObject; they are the only ones using objc_msgSend.

@inessential @brentsimmons let mirror = reflect(myStruct) for i in 0..<mirror.count { println("\(mirror[i].0): \(mirror[i].1.value)") }
