Dropping the requirement for C++-only bootstrapping
Dear compiler developers, I'm happy to announce that from now on "mandatory" parts of the compiler can be implemented in Swift (on the main branch). So far we only used Swift as an implementation language in parts of the compiler which are not strictly necessary for correct code generation of the standard library, like some optimization passes. Now, we can use Swift in all parts of the compiler, including the parser, AST, type checker or mandatory SIL passes. We are dropping the requirement ...
