The review of "Importing Objective-C Lightweight Generics" begins now and runs through April 5. The proposal is available here:<br class="">
<br class="">
<a href="https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0057-importing-objc-generics.md" target="_blank" class="">https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0057-importing-objc-generics.md</a><br class="">
<br class="">
Reviews are an important part of the Swift evolution process. All reviews should be sent to the swift-evolution mailing list at:<br class="">
<a href="https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution" target="_blank" class="">https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution</a><br class="">
<br class="">
or, if you would like to keep your feedback private, directly to the review manager.<br class="">

<br class="">
What goes into a review?<br class="">
<br class="">
The goal of the review process is to improve the proposal under review through constructive criticism and, eventually, determine the direction of Swift. When writing your review, here are some questions you might want to answer in your review:<br class="">
<br class="">
* What is your evaluation of the proposal?<br class="">
* Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?<br class="">
* Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?<br class="">
* If you have you used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?<br class="">
* How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an in-depth study?<br class="">
<br class="">
