Swift key paths are not coding keys, JSON keys, or SQLite columns

(Copy-pasted from groue/GRDB.swift#1423 (comment), edited for clarity)

And if I remember correctly, you had some good reasons for not using key paths in the GRDB query builder

My reluctance about key paths is based on the fact that record types do frequently, but not always, exactly reflect their database representation. The reality is that record types are a Swift interface to their inner database representation. And it's the same for "json records" as well.

That's how people use them. They'll replace a text database value with a Swift string-based enum value. They'll publicly expose a price: Decimal property instead of the priceCents database integer. They'll publicly expose a location: CLLocationCoordinate2D property instead of two latitude and longitude database doubles.

Is it possible to implement a classical counting semaphore with Swift concurrency (async/await)? I wish I could call an async method await semaphore.wait() and a sync method semaphore.signal() with the same semantics as a classical semaphore, but without blocking any thread.

Yes, it is possible to implement a classical counting semaphore with Swift concurrency using async/await without blocking any thread. Here is an example implementation: swift

class Semaphore {
    private var count: Int
    private let lock = NSLock()
    private var waiters: [Task<Void, Never>] = []

groue

/// A type that tracks its creation and modification dates, as described in
/// <https://swiftpackageindex.com/groue/grdb.swift/documentation/grdb/recordtimestamps>
protocol TimestampedRecord {
    var creationDate: Date? { get set }
    var modificationDate: Date? { get set }
}

extension TimestampedRecord where Self: MutablePersistableRecord {
    /// Sets `modificationDate` to the transaction date.
    mutating func touch(_ db: Database) throws {

        await withThrowingTaskGroup(of: Void.self) { group in
            for i in 0..<10 {
                group.addTask {

        return index

Explicit Protocol Fulfillment

Introduction

This pitch introduces of a new keyword in front of declarations: conformance.

The conformance keyword means: "this declaration is intended by the programmer to fulfill a protocol requirement". Its presence is never required. However, when present, the program is ill-formed unless the declaration does match a protocol requirement.

For example:
