[swift-evolution] Should we consider Swift improvements for indie solo programmers?

[Marc Knaup]

Even when not working in teams developers should maintain a good code
structure & practices.

   - They may revisit the code after a long time has passed and then need
   to understand it again.
   - They may join a team some day and then carry over the the
   bad/"non-optimal" practices over.
   - Many developers start learning programming or a new language in solo
   projects. They should learn a language along with good practices.
   - They tend to underestimate that quick & dirty coding causes technical
   debt over time and will some day bite them.

Also if they really do not want to follow good practices then there's no
need for something like "} /for". They could just use "} // for".
