Today I committed the sin of taking some random person’s GitHub issue and turning it into an ideological battle. Please witness me. https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-syntax/issues/2421#issuecomme...

"This is a book about the implementation of generic programming—also known as parametric polymorphism—in the #Swift compiler. You won’t learn how to write generic code in Swift here;"

You probably knew that you can restrict a protocol to only classes by using AnyObject:

// only UIView subclasses can adopt this protocol
}
