"Are you aware of any Swift-centric refactoring resources? As a non-native Swift programmer, I would like to learn more about when to define & use prototypes, type aliases, extensions, concurrency, etc." Any good resources for Joe Cursio's comment on my latest video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbFcPm_nryU

@qcoding Apparently there's a JetBrains Swift IDE on the way

@jasongorman @qcoding ????
I thought they had one and killed it. Happy to discover the world has changed again.

@mlevison @jasongorman It's Fleet, their multilingual IDE. Still in early days, here's their feature matrix https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vTWt9RlJPfIJwD5H7Gsqbu9xHTd-K1oj_zCpP6YIQq8xvjARDYqC6OnVIVt5WPi2-B-vWHZw5qMnhvx/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true

@qcoding @jasongorman interesting. Is this like their version of VSCode?
Show threadJon ReidAug 20, 2024
@mlevison @jasongorman Yes, that's how I think of it. Now Swift does support the VSCode LSP and some folks are working on automated refactoring support across tools (including Xcode).

Interesting - I keep wanting to learn Swift - it seems like fun. It's just I have no business need to learn it.

The Java programming work I have done recently is already far enough away from business value. Swift is about 10 steps further.

@mlevison @qcoding Swift is a big improvement on Objective C. Not a fan of XCode, though.

Touché. I still don’t have a good business reason to learn it.
