I'm really impressed by the attentiveness of the Swift compiler team. Found this in the repo: https://github.com/apple/swift/commit/666646fee95bc75ca81e1d...

One tweet and the bug is fixed within a couple of hours. Wow!

Found that issue while working on the Pythonic.swift project: https://github.com/practicalswift/Pythonic.swift (btw, contributors welcome! Know Python? If so, a very good way to jump into Swift programming is by contributing to Pythonic.swift: a Swift implementation of selected parts of Python standard library)

Yes, the project was updated to compile without warnings in Xcode6-Beta3 directly after the release. Please note that most of the changes introduced in Xcode6-Beta3 are breaking, so the project won't compile in the earlier betas any more. So go get Xcode6-Beta3 if you want to use Pythonic.swift :-)

The current Swift standard library is actually very small and limited, so Pythonic.swift is an attempt to extend the Swift language with a more comprehensive standard library that quite a few developers are already familiar with. I love both Python and Swift, so I thought why not let them marry? :-)
