Perhaphs. But I expected somewhat more mature inception of the contribution. The introduction for it is not great, but the work done could be. Having the swift ported is huge amount of work, and I see it as useful. We need it to have the system to be a good platform for all modern languages. IMO Jamie deserves the gratefulness and encouragement for the work done, and not the naive sarcasm due to some missed wording.
