It might also help some of us who have been sitting on the sideline to dip our toes in the water.

Everyone’s ability to assist is ultimately balanced by their own capacity and priorities, but I think there are plenty of examples of this happening in the past. Also, there is a increasing number of people — and not just the Core Team or compiler engineers in my team at Apple — who are becoming increasingly comfortable working with the implementation of the compiler and the standard library.</div></div>_______________________________________________<br class="">swift-evolution mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:swift-evolution@swift.org" class="">swift-evolution@swift.org</a><br class="">https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution<br class=""></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></div></body></html>
