[swift-corelibs-dev] Rules on adding dependencies

[Tom Leavy]

I would rather go right to the end game here and just work on coding up an implementation of JSON encoding / decoding and making it conform to the NSJSONSerialization spec. I can set up a repo for us to work on it.

The main decision here, is do we code a small lib in C and then call it from the Swift side, or do we just write the entire implementation in Swift? From a performance standpoint C is usually my go to, but if we use swift with only structs and we really focus on minimizing use of functions that would be costly / do a lot of profiling and optimization we can get very close to equivalent performance? At least to the level of the current objective c / c version? I'm also not sure of potential performance penalties of calling C functions from swift. Someone with more knowledge will have to weigh in on that one.
