Molecules of Swift A small piece of Swift, taken apart. Latest: for case and where: Filter While You Iterate

Daily (almost) Swift Open Source Overview Swift open source, read from the source. Latest: Swift Algorithms: Sliding Windows Without Copies

The Grey Rhino Files The obvious failures we chose to ignore. Latest: The 21st Field: CrowdStrike’s Windows Outage

📃 for case and where: Filter While You Iterate

Use Swift for case to select matching values during iteration, bind associated data, and add precise where conditions without hiding the loop’s intent.

📃 The 21st Field: CrowdStrike’s Windows Outage

How one matching rule exposed a five-month-old input mismatch in CrowdStrike Falcon and turned a rapid content update into a Windows crash.

📃 if case and guard case: Match One Shape Without a switch

Match one Swift enum case, bind its associated values, add conditions, and decide when guard case or an exhaustive switch is clearer.

📃 Swift Algorithms: Sliding Windows Without Copies

How swift-algorithms models overlapping collection slices with paired indexes.

📃 Nil Coalescing: Provide Defaults Without Branching

See how Swift’s nil-coalescing operator chooses defaults lazily, composes with optional chaining, and differs from validation and dictionary insertion.
