[swift-evolution] [swift-evolution-announce] [Review] SE-0026 Abstract classes and methods

[Trent Nadeau]

>       • What is your evaluation of the proposal?
-1. I would prefer something like mixins that could work without
inheritance and would thus also work with value types.

>       • Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a
change to Swift?
Yes, although I don't think abstract classes that force inheritance and
only work for classes is the answer.

>       • Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?
No.

>       • If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar
feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?
My opinion is based on other languages I've used that have better ways to
handle this (Ruby, Python, D) as well as the downsides I've seen with
abstract classes in Java and C++.

>       • How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick
reading, or an in-depth study?
I've followed the various threads on this topic that have come up since
Swift was open-sourced.
