Annotation is indeed a backdoor in syntax system, it makes source code totally un-understandable before you read reference of the annotation. </div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">在 2016年1月14日，上午9:24，Talin via swift-evolution <<a href="mailto:swift-evolution@swift.org" class="">swift-evolution@swift.org</a>> 写道：</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">As a former Googler, I've spent a lot of years writing Java code that uses dependency injection, and this relies heavily on the ability to have custom annotations/attributes in the language - particularly, user-defined attributes on function parameters - and to generate additional code at compile time via annotation processors. Although dependency injection does have it's detractors, it's getting better (current best of breed is <a href="http://google.github.io/dagger/" class="">http://google.github.io/dagger/</a>), and it solves an amazing array of problems, including the ability for asynchronous programming to disappear into the underlying framework - you just write synchronous code and the framework handles the rest (no more futures!).<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Now, you can of course do dependency injection without custom attribute support in the language, but it's much more cumbersome. The user-defined attributes allow you to specify, in a simple declarative way, the runtime dependencies between various classes. Without it you have to build up those dependencies in code, using some sort of fluent interface or builder pattern.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">So my question is, is there any plan for Swift to support user-created annotations, and annotation processing compilation stages?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-- <br class=""><div class="gmail_signature">-- Talin</div>
