swiftlang/swift-evolution

This repository is the official home of Swift Evolution, the process by which the Swift programming language gets changed and improved over time. Swift is a programming language used primarily for building apps on Apple platforms. Rather than having a small team make changes behind closed doors, Swift uses a public proposal process where anyone can suggest and discuss changes to the language. The repository maintains written proposals that describe potential additions, removals, or modifications to Swift's features, standard library (the built-in set of tools that come with the language), and package manager (the system for organizing and sharing Swift code). Each proposal goes through a review process before being accepted or rejected. The repository also tracks the release history of Swift versions, with announcements and release dates going back to Swift 2.2. You would look at this repository if you want to understand why Swift works the way it does, follow discussions about upcoming language changes, submit your own proposal for a new Swift feature, or track what is planned for future versions. It is a documentation and governance repository rather than runnable software, written entirely in Markdown (a plain-text format for structured documents). It is aimed at Swift developers who want to participate in or stay informed about the evolution of the language itself.
