[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0179: Swift `run` Command

[Richard Wei]

> What is your evaluation of the proposal?
Excellent, except that `--chdir` and `--in-dir` are confusing. Why not use a long, clear name, just like `—enable-prefetching`? Consider `—working-dir` & `—preexec-working-dir`.
> Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?
Yes, esp when executables go into platform subfolders in Swift 4.
> 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?
Compares well. It’s very easy to use.
> How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an in-depth study?
A reasonably thorough read.
