This is pretty compelling! I’ve long thought that just generating source code is not using agents to the fullest. So it’s cool to see broader skills directly in #Xcode

A couple of interesting pitches to swift-async-algorithms for things that honestly should have been in the standard library years ago. Though I think for now, a package makes more sense.

The audacity to ship this in an SDK and make it publicly available. Sheesh. Major footgun.
In case you're wondering init(uniqueKeysWithValues:) will trap on any duplicate keys.
Buildable folders in Xcode are such a game changer for medium sized teams. Most normal work (adding or removing source files) no longer requires modifying the project file. So you can use code ownership on the project file to avoid inadvertent changes. And I don’t have to switch to an alternative build system or something like XcodeGen.
