[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0041: Updating Protocol Naming Conventions for Conversions

[Brad Hilton]

>* What is your evaluation of the proposal?

+1. Having consistent conventions makes sense to me. I’d prefer `Initializable` to `Creatable` which sounds weird to me, but otherwise sounds great.

>* Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?

I think semantic consistency is important.

> * Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?

Yes.

> * If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?

I don’t know if I’ve seen a similar standard in other languages.

> * How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an in-depth study?

I’ve been following this proposal for weeks and if approved it will influence my work.
