The way to declare conformance to multiple protocols always seemed odd to me:
- It looks like protocol is a generic class, but generics always have a fixed number of parameters
- By convention, all types have to start with uppercase (besides protocol, there is at least another exception: Restricting protocols to reference types via "class")
So, I definitely think there is room for improvement hereā¦ how about recycling the inheritance syntax?
let controller: (UIViewController, UITableViewDatasource)
I added the braces because it would be really when you add the question mark for an optional value; an alternative for this case would be
let controller: Optional<UIViewController, UITableViewDatasource>
