+1, I like it.<br>

Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a
change to Swift?<br class="">

Though this change only applies to playgrounds, the current syntax
is definitely odd, and doesn't match anything else in the language.
For beginners to swift who may be using playgrounds extensively,
seeing the current syntax behind the scenes might lead them to be
confused by how dissimilar it is to anything else. If parsing of
these literals in playgrounds can be made simpler and faster by this
change, then that is another positive outcome.<br>

Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?<br

</blockquote>
I believe so. Using the increasingly common # syntax in a unified
way helps simplify things.<br>

If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar
feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?<br

I've used racket in the past which has support for dragging images
inline in the repl/code editor, but I haven't looked into how that
is represented as text. I can't imagine it uses anything comparably
unconventional like the existing swift syntax though.<br>

How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick
reading, or an in-depth study?</blockquote>
A quick read through of the proposal and some reading of the
preceding email thread.<br>
