My favorite Thanksgiving tradition is a good language design debate ahead of the holiday. This time on improving the approachability of data-race safety: https://forums.swift.org/t/prospective-vision-improving-the-approachability-of-data-race-safety/76183

I care deeply about this problem, and I appreciate any thoughts, questions, and other constructive feedback you have to share!

Voting for US president: easiest ballot choice I’ve ever made to cast my vote for Kamala Harris

Voting for SF mayor: most time I’ve ever sunk into researching candidates and policies, figuring out how ranked choice voting works, who to rank and in what order, who to not rank

Anyway, go vote!

I was very excited to wake up to a lively discussion thread! There are many differing opinions on the trade-offs that are thoughtfully and respectfully articulated in the comments. This is what a healthy debate looks like.

If you’ve been struggling with the default execution behavior of nonisolated async functions in the #SwiftLang concurrency model, I’d love your feedback on https://forums.swift.org/t/pitch-inherit-isolation-by-default-for-async-functions/74862

I just discovered that wearing AirPods with nothing playing is a great excuse to ignore random dudes hitting on you

Me: walking by, AirPods in

Dude: opens arms as if I would entertain a hug I’ve been waiting for you, you are SO pretty

Me: ignores dude, continues walking

Dude: @#$%& she’s wearing AirPods, San Francisco sucks

I felt a little bit invisible at work this week. Not because of one person or interaction, but a bunch of tiny things that built up, and it was heightened by being the least experienced person in many of the discussions I was in.

The best tool that I have for digging myself out of this feeling is solving technical problems. It’s a concrete way to learn, a tangible accomplishment, and it’s fun. So today I’m going to have some fun with a technical problem that I’m excited about.

Oh, and if you use my disengagement as evidence that I don’t take feedback seriously or that you’re being victimized, I think you need some serious self reflection.

Constructive feedback about Swift 6 is great and necessary for improvement. But if you communicate your feedback using hyperbole about the compiler physically beating you, I will ask you to change your language. If you don’t, I’m not engaging with that.

Relatedly, I need a nice GitHub UI for stacking PRs.

I have like 5 write ups that I should be working on, but iterating on concurrency diagnostics is more fun, so here’s a change to improve the notes for isolation mismatches in initializers: https://github.com/swiftlang/swift/pull/75705

A change I’ve been itching to make for a while: https://github.com/swiftlang/swift/pull/75668

There are many sources of actor isolation inference in Swift (protocol conformance, class inheritance, and more!), but the compiler diagnostics don’t show you that. With this change, concurrency errors that involve inferred actor isolation will tell you where the isolation came from.
