[swift-evolution] higher kinded types vs Python's syntactic sugars

[Félix Cloutier]

Everybody understands what list comprehensions are about, what are the current options, and what the proposal adds. Not a lot of people understand higher kinded types, what are the current options, and what the proposal adds.

People are saying that the current equivalents for list comprehensions are good enough. HKT people are saying that there are things that are simply impossible in Swift right now.
