| boilerplate | [ˈbɔɪlərpleɪt] | n. 样板文件；引用 |
Key Features
- Module stability defines a new text-based module interface file that describes the API of a binary framework.
- Property wrappers introduce a general purpose syntax for defining custom access patterns for property values.
- Opaque result types help hide implementation details in APIs.
- 'Self' can now be used for classes and value types.
- Support for handling and updating diffs on collections of appropriate types.
- Improvements to SIMD and String types.
| 词汇 | 音标 | 中文 |

| appropriate | [əˈproʊpriət] | adj. 适当的；恰当的；合适的 |
Modern
Swift is the result of the latest research on programming languages, combined with decades of experience building Apple platforms. Named parameters are expressed in a clean syntax that makes APIs in Swift even easier to read and maintain. Even better, you don’t even need to type semi-colons. Inferred types make code cleaner and less prone to mistakes, while modules eliminate headers and provide namespaces. To best support international languages and emoji, Strings are Unicode-correct and use a UTF-8 based encoding to optimize performance for a wide-variety of use cases. Memory is managed automatically using tight, deterministic reference counting, keeping memory usage to a minimum without the overhead of garbage collection.
Swift是对编程语言的最新研究的结果，结合了数十年的Apple平台构建经验。 命名参数以简洁的语法表示，这使Swift中的API更加易于阅读和维护。 更好的是，您甚至不需要键入分号。 推断的类型使代码更整洁且不易出错，而模块则消除了标头并提供了名称空间。 为了最好地支持国际语言和表情符号，字符串是Unicode正确的，并使用基于UTF-8的编码来优化各种用例的性能。 使用严格的确定性引用计数自动管理内存，从而将内存使用量降至最低，而不会产生垃圾回收的开销。

init(_ name: String) {
self.name = name
}
}
var player = Player("Tomas")
- Declare new types with modern, straightforward syntax. Provide default values for instance properties and define custom initializers.
使用现代，直接的语法声明新类型。 提供实例属性的默认值并定义自定义初始化函数。
extension Player {
mutating func updateScore(_ newScore: Int) {
history.append(newScore)
if highScore < newScore {
print("\(newScore)! A new high score for \(name)! 🎉")
highScore = newScore
}
}
}
player.updateScore(50)
// Prints "50! A new high score for Tomas! 🎉"
// player.highScore == 50
- Add functionality to existing types using extensions, and cut down on boilerplate with custom string interpolations.
使用扩展向现有类型添加功能，并使用自定义字符串插值缩减样板。
extension Player: Codable, Equatable {}
import Foundation
let encoder = JSONEncoder()
try encoder.encode(player)
print(player)
// Prints "Tomas, games played: 1, high score: 50”
- Quickly extend your custom types to take advantage of powerful language features, such as automatic JSON encoding and decoding.
快速扩展您的自定义类型，以利用强大的语言功能，例如自动JSON编码和解码。
let players = getPlayers()
// Sort players, with best high scores first
let ranked = players.sorted(by: { player1, player2 in
player1.highScore > player2.highScore
})
// Create an array with only the players’ names
let rankedNames = ranked.map { $0.name }
// ["Erin", "Rosana", "Tomas"]

Designed for Safety
Swift eliminates entire classes of unsafe code. Variables are always initialized before use, arrays and integers are checked for overflow, memory is automatically managed, and enforcement of exclusive access to memory guards against many programming mistakes. Syntax is tuned to make it easy to define your intent — for example, simple three-character keywords define a variable ( var ) or constant ( let ). And Swift heavily leverages value types, especially for commonly used types like Arrays and Dictionaries. This means that when you make a copy of something with that type, you know it won’t be modified elsewhere.
Another safety feature is that by default Swift objects can never be nil. In fact, the Swift compiler will stop you from trying to make or use a nil object with a compile-time error. This makes writing code much cleaner and safer, and prevents a huge category of runtime crashes in your apps. However, there are cases where nil is valid and appropriate. For these situations Swift has an innovative feature known as optionals. An optional may contain nil, but Swift syntax forces you to safely deal with it using the ? syntax to indicate to the compiler you understand the behavior and will handle it safely.
Swift消除了整个类的不安全代码。 变量总是在使用前进行初始化，检查数组和整数是否溢出，自动管理内存，并强制执行对内存的独占访问，以防止发生许多编程错误。 语法经过调整，可轻松定义您的意图-例如，简单的三个字符的关键字定义了变量（ var ）或常量（ let ）。 Swift大量利用值类型，尤其是对于诸如数组和字典之类的常用类型。 这意味着当您复制具有该类型的内容时，您将知道它不会在其他地方被修改。
另一个安全功能是，默认情况下Swift对象永远不能为nil 。 实际上，Swift编译器将阻止您尝试制作或使用带有编译时错误的nil对象。 这使编写代码更加干净和安全，并防止了应用程序中大量的运行时崩溃。 但是，在某些情况下， nil有效且适当。 对于这些情况，Swift具有一项称为可选功能的创新功能。 可选内容可能包含nil ，但是Swift语法会强制您使用？安全地对其进行处理。 语法，向编译器指示您了解该行为并将安全地对其进行处理。
-
Use optionals when you might have an instance to return from a function, or you might not.
-
Features such as optional binding, optional chaining, and nil coalescing let you work safely and efficiently with optional values.

Fast and Powerful
From its earliest conception, Swift was built to be fast. Using the incredibly high-performance LLVM compiler technology, Swift code is transformed into optimized native code that gets the most out of modern hardware. The syntax and standard library have also been tuned to make the most obvious way to write your code also perform the best whether it runs in the watch on your wrist or across a cluster of servers.
Swift is a successor to both the C and Objective-C languages. It includes low-level primitives such as types, flow control, and operators. It also provides object-oriented features such as classes, protocols, and generics, giving Cocoa and Cocoa Touch developers the performance and power they demand.

Great First Language
Swift can open doors to the world of coding. In fact, it was designed to be anyone’s first programming language, whether you’re still in school or exploring new career paths. For educators, Apple created free curriculum to teach Swift both in and out of the classroom. First-time coders can download Swift Playgrounds—an app for iPad that makes getting started with Swift code interactive and fun.
Aspiring app developers can access free courses to learn to build their first apps in Xcode. And Apple Stores around the world host Today at Apple Coding & Apps sessions where you can get hands-on experience with Swift code.
Source and Binary Compatibility
With Swift 5, you don’t have to modify any of your Swift 4 code to use the new version of the compiler. Instead you can start using the new compiler and migrate at your own pace, taking advantage of new Swift 5 features, one module at a time. And Swift 5 now introduces binary compatibility for apps. That means you no longer need to include Swift libraries in apps that target current and future OS releases, because the Swift libraries will be included in every OS release going forward. Your apps will leverage the latest version of the library in the OS, and your code will continue to run without recompiling. This not only makes developing your app simpler, it also reduces the size of your app and its launch time.
Playgrounds and Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL)
Much like Swift Playgrounds for iPad, playgrounds in Xcode make writing Swift code incredibly simple and fun. Type a line of code and the result appears immediately. You can then Quick Look the result from the side of your code, or pin that result directly below. The result view can display graphics, lists of results, or graphs of a value over time. You can open the Timeline Assistant to watch a complex view evolve and animate, great for experimenting with new UI code, or to play an animated SpriteKit scene as you code it. When you’ve perfected your code in the playground, simply move that code into your project. Swift is also interactive when you use it in Terminal or within Xcode’s LLDB debugging console. Use Swift syntax to evaluate and interact with your running app, or write new code to see how it works in a script-like environment.
Package Manager
Swift Package Manager is a single cross-platform tool for building, running, testing and packaging your Swift libraries and executables. Swift packages are the best way to distribute libraries and source code to the Swift community. Configuration of packages is written in Swift itself, making it easy to configure targets, declare products and manage package dependencies. New to Swift 5, the swift run command now includes the ability to import libraries in a REPL without needing to build an executable. Swift Package Manager itself is actually built with Swift and included in the Swift open source project as a package.
Objective-C Interoperability
You can create an entirely new application with Swift today, or begin using Swift code to implement new features and functionality in your app. Swift code co-exists alongside your existing Objective-C files in the same project, with full access to your Objective-C API, making it easy to adopt.

| compatibility | n. [计] 兼容性 | |
| evaluate | vt. 评价；估价；求…的值 | |
| distribute | vt. 分配；散布；分开；把…分类 | |
| adopt | vt. 采取；接受；收养；正式通过 |
