Asking for dynamism in Swift is a great example of users asking for a specific feature without considering better solutions to their problem

@mdiep @jspahrsummers If you look most of the arguments are for specific features in the Frameworks that Swift uses but can’t replicate.

@gte @mdiep and we're saying maybe that's a Good Thing, since there are now other tools for solving the same problems

@jspahrsummers @gte @mdiep Such as?

@mpweiher @jspahrsummers @mdiep Nobody can tell me how to do a responder chain without a giant switch nor how to load a XIB. The basics.

@gte @mpweiher @jspahrsummers @mdiep …and similarly in MFC and ATL, there’s a “message map” dynamic dispatch mechanism done with macros.

@al45tair @mpweiher @jspahrsummers @mdiep To be clear: I don't bring things up because I want things to stay the same. I want improvements!
