Swift 2.0 in Fire

Elements Fire

Is there a time schedule when Swift 2.0 will be implemented in Elements and Fire?

We’ll have an Silver 8.2 Beta out soon, probably this week, with support for most 2.0 features. See http://docs.elementscompiler.com/Silver/Swift20/ for updates on what is/will be implemented.

Hey Marc,
This Swift 2.0 with bindings to Java and C# is brilliant stuff. Looks like the link about was last updated a month ago. I’m guessing you guys have knocked off a few more bullet points, and are waiting to send out another incremental build. Do you guys have something like a nightly or canary branch for 8.3?
Thanks for all the clever work you do. I mean it. You guys have done some crazy cool stuff with compilers.

Thanx for the kind words! We’ve bene busy on many fronts but we’ll get back to having more Swift 2.0 items crossed off that list soon, as well!

Hi Marc,

Will the real protocal extension feature be supported in the future? For example, following code can work:

protocol Disposable {
func destroy()
}
extension Disposable{
func destroy() { }
}

Here is my original post:

I believe those should already work? if not, we will fix that of course.

Unfortunately that code can’t be compiled by Elements currently.
I’ve started a new thread to trace it:

Thanx. i’ll make sure this gets addressed.
