@wilshipley @phink0 [fast] Is this something you expect or something you measured? My measurements to date almost exclusively show opposite.

@mpweiher @wilshipley What am I doing wrong? Swift 6x slower than very naive ObjC filter. XCode7.3.1, [-O], iPhone5Spic.twitter.com/U20uvcRPFj

@phink0 @wilshipley That looks about smack in the middle of the relative slowdowns I have been seeing.

@mpweiher @phink0 @wilshipley That’s very interesting. Have you tried profiling it? Bridging overhead?

@phink0 @mpweiher @wilshipley The Foundation -hasPrefix: does an exact compare; maybe Swift stdlib one does a fancy Unicode compare.

@mjtsai @phink0 @mpweiher @wilshipley Yeah. Some Unicode operations are also implemented naively and make unnecessary extra copies.

@mpweiher @mjtsai @phink0 @wilshipley By "naive" I mean "copy into a CF string and hand off to a CF fn". Super naive

@jckarter @mpweiher @mjtsai Busy rewriting foundations, with new bugs and inefficiencies. Isn't it worrying? For what practical benefits?

@phink0 @jckarter @mpweiher Transitions aren’t fun, but I mostly find Swift more pleasant and like that it tries to do Unicode right.
