You can tell Swift is fundamentally static because otherwise there couldn’t even be talk about the compiler optimizing the dynamic parts.

@jckarter I don't think I could do something like this with a hypothetical Swift AppKit. Dispatch, but no msg send. http://furbo.org/2014/04/18/get-ready-for-june-2nd/ …

@mjtsai You can't do that today, either. Any change to NSFont's impl could break hacks like this.

@mjtsai Sure, but then those workarounds end up in production builds, and Foundation grows more scar tissue to work around the workaround. - View other replies

@mjtsai Longer term I think everyone's happier when components respect each other's boundaries. -
@jckarter Just used swizzling to work around a CorePDF crash. I’m not a fan of scar tissue, but it’s better than crashing.
