I recently picked up Swift. This article is about some of the things in Swift that I thought were cool. I will probably update this as I come upon more cool stuff, which is bound to happen as I’m still starting out.

Often, when working with Typescript, people tend to go for type assertions to suppress errors. Though that does suppress the immediate error, it is often the case that you’re causing yourself a pain by not fixing the underlying issue, and exposing yourself to bugs at runtime. The main advantage of Typescript is the types we define, the more accurate they are to reality the less often you’ll encounter type related bugs in production.The rest of this article is about type assertion, non null assertion, and how to avoid it.
