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

@mjtsai It's as dynamic or static as your program needs to be.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 12 Dec 2015

@jckarter Not when my program is linking to code that already has the dynamism compiled out.

@mjtsai You can link to public classes and protocols and get the dynamism you expect.

@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.

@jckarter It’s not future proof, but it works great for debugging or temporarily working around a framework bug.
