[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0103: Make non-escaping closures the default

[Felipe Cypriano]

> * What is your evaluation of the proposal?
My team just started using Swift a few weeks ago. But based on my
experience in Objective-C and problems with retain cycles I really
really like this proposal. Makes the code easier to grasp because by
just reading it I know that that closure cannot escape by default, so
the receiver will not hold onto to it for longer than I expect.
 
I totally approve this change. Sounds awesome.
 
> * Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a
>   change to Swift?
Based on my experience using blocks and async callbacks in Objective-C,
yes. I expect Swift to be safe by default and this helps solving a
common problem for me.
 
> * Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?
Yes, safe by default. Without being hard to use.
 
> * If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar
>   feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?
N/A
 
> * How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick
>   reading, or an in-depth study?
I read the proposal.
