[swift-users] Generic inheritance with where clause

[Nikita Leonov]

Hello everyone,

I am looking a way to express something similar to the following code in
Swift terms:
protocol AnyViewModelInput {}
protocol AnyViewModel<ViewModelInput>: ViewModelInput where ViewModelInput:
AnyViewModelInput {
    var input: ViewModelInput { get }
}

Such construct supposed to avoid code duplications as follows and reuse
code for splitting view models its inputs etc:
protocol FooViewModelInput {
    var foo: Int { get set }
}

protocol FooViewModelProtocol: FooViewModelInput {
    var input: FooViewModelInput { get }
}

final class FooViewModel: FooViewModelProtocol {
    var input: FooViewModelInput {
        return self
    }
    var foo = 0
}

Is it possible in current Swift? Will it be possible if generic
manifesto will be implemented in full? Also if you know how to express a
similar idea in any other language, I would love to see examples. How does
such construct is named in other languages?

Thank in advance,
Nikita
