[swift-evolution] [swift-evolution-announce] [Review] SE-0090: Remove .self and freely allow type references in expressions

[Matthew Johnson]

> 
>    * What is your evaluation of the proposal?

+1.  IIRC this wasn't always required and I was bummed when the requirement was introduced.  Good riddance.  That said, I wouldn't mind if .self was kept as an alternative as Brent has requested.

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

Yes.

>    * 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?

Similar response as Brent with regards to Ruby.

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

Followed the discussion and read the proposal.
