[swift-evolution] [swit-evolution] [Review] SE-0156: Class and Subtype existentials

[Kevin Nattinger]

> What is your evaluation of the proposal?
+0.9
The core of the proposal is unquestionably necessary to correct a serious deficiency in the expressivity of the type system, but I take issue with the arbitrary limitation of requiring the concrete type to be first and would give a full +1 to the core team accepting with the modification of removing that limitation.

> Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?
Definitely. I’ve run into the issue this would solve several times in real-world applications.

> 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?
Basically a direct translation of the objc feature.

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

Followed and to some extent participated in the discussion, relatively quick read of the final proposal.
