Thoughts on Swift 2 Errors

Thoughts on Swift 2 Errors

When Swift was first announced, I was gratified to see that one of the (few) philosophies that it shared with Objective-C was that exceptions should not be used for control flow, only for highlighting fatal programming errors at development time.

So it came as a surprise to me when Swift 2 brought (What appeared to be) traditional exception handling to the language.

Similarly surprised were the functional Swift programmers, who had put their faith in the Haskell-style approach to error handling, where every function returns an enum (or monad, if you like) containing either a valid result or an error. This seemed like a natural fit for Swift, so why did Apple instead opt for a solution originally designed for clumsy imperative languages?

I'm going to cover three things in this post:

// Previous async code based on Result. A "Search" wraps an async operation and offers features like cancel().
// An earlier experiment includes self.pages = result ?? [], but that's cheating.
// If you didn't care about error handling, what's the point of Result? Added displayError() to test reality.
// Of course maybe "self.pages = result ?? { displayError(err); return [] }()" would work,
// but that gets a little obtuse and scales poorly.
func search(text: String, completionHandler: (Result<[Page]>) -> Void) -> Search { ... }
self.currentSearch = self.searcher.search(searchString, completionHandler: { result in
switch result {

WWDC (iOS 9, OS X 10.11, Swift 2.0, Xcode 7) hopes&wishes

iOS 9:

  1. Stability, stability, stability. Things should just work. Especially networking/cloud related stuff: AirDrop, Handoff, syncing, etc…
  2. Notification center that's actually useful. Instead of grouping them by apps, and failing to intelligently show the notifications I'm interested in, show the chronological stream/feed of all notifications. Don't remove anything from that feed, only gray out notifications you've tapped on/seen. So, just like Facebook notifications. Much better model.
  3. Presence awareness for more intelligent notifications. Don't give me the cacophony of notifications of all 4 devices. Devices within each other's BTLE range should have awareness of each other and know that if I'm actively using my Mac, I want notifications to only show up there.
  4. Better app folders. The 3x3 grid is bullshit design, and even worse on the iPad. Make the folder zoom in and expand into a scrolling list of apps, not a paged interface. Kinda like on the Mac
  5. Allow people to choose default a

Detect a tap on a URL inside a UITextView. Note: the rs_links method isn't included -- you'll need something that takes text and returns an array of detected links. This gist just demonstrates walking through the UITextView characters.
@implementation UITextView (RSExtras)
static BOOL stringCharacterIsAllowedAsPartOfLink(NSString *s) {
/*[s length] is assumed to be 0 or 1. s may be nil.
Totally not a strict check.*/
if (s == nil || [s length] < 1)
return NO;

This is a guard that tracks down UIKit access on threads other than main. This snippet is taken from the commercial iOS PDF framework http://pspdfkit.com, but relicensed under MIT. Works because a lot of calls internally call setNeedsDisplay or setNeedsLayout. Won't catch everything, but it's very lightweight and usually does the job.You might n…
