It’s really interesting that people imagine software optimizations as making things more complicated when in reality most of the work is actually refactoring and simplifying code until the performance wins fall out organically

Imagine if all the collective money spent of “self driving cars” had been spent on public transport.

As in, not cars - which are ultimately bad solutions for most of the world - but punctual and pervasive clean-energy public trams, trains, and buses.

Magazine spread from 1984:
Finally landed the first of many #SwiftLang standard library updates to replace "rethrows" with generic typed throws: https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/69771.
