Swift 6.3 adds a :: operator for module disambiguation: https://www.swift.org/blog/swift-6.3-released/

I dislike the syntax (too C++ for my taste) but it's finally possible to do stuff like:

extension String {
var count: Int { 3 }
}

print("Hello".count) // 3
print("Hello".Swift::count) // 5

Here's one for the icons-in-menus haters on macOS Tahoe:

defaults write -g NSMenuEnableActionImages -bool NO

It even preserves the couple of instances you do want icons, like for window zoom/resize

The expression of the day is an array literal whose elements are tuples of literals, for example this:

func f() {
let array = [
(0, 0, 0, 0), /* ... imagine this element repeated 100 times ... */
]
}

- Swift 6.0 took a leisurely 16 seconds to type check the body of f()
- Swift 6.2: 5 seconds
- Swift main: 2 seconds
- my latest tree: 15 milliseconds.

It's still doing too much work, but a 1000x improvement over Swift 6 isn't too shabby
