IMO no. The author's Cent library (<a href="https://github.com/ankurp/Cent/">https://github.com/ankurp/Cent/</a>) though looks a lot "Swift-ier" to me, using extensions rather than a global "$". <br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Oct 20, 2016 at 15:05 Rick Mann via swift-users <<a href="mailto:swift-users@swift.org">swift-users@swift.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">A discussion on swift-evolution prompted me to look at the Dollar library (<a href="https://github.com/ankurp/Dollar" rel="noreferrer" class="gmail_msg" target="_blank">https://github.com/ankurp/Dollar</a>). Is this library an example of good design? It doesn't seem to be to me. No doubt much of the actual functionality is helpful, I'm just asking about the API design.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
For example, why is everything hung off a variable ("$")? Why not just a collection of global methods?<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
It seems to tout the fact that it's good because it does NOT extend any built-in objects, but that seems un-swifty.<br class="gmail_msg">
