This is practical. It's something you wish for within a couple hours of Swift. let x : SomeThing if condition { x = foo() } else { x = bar() } use(x)
I wish the es6 const would allow this.

#12Why is being logged-in required to view the Release Notes?
Because Apple chooses to only give access to betas and their release notes to registered developers.

How does that benefit Apple?
They probably aren't interested in catering their beta kit to people who aren't Apple Developers... A good way to cut out a ton of noise in one step.

#16How about opening Swift compiler source code (and porting it to other platforms?)
And, what are the OS requirements for xcode 6.3? Is it possible to install it to old macosx system (snow leopard, for example)?

#17This is so strange. Right now we have
iOS 8.2 beta and 8.3 beta
XCode 6.2 beta and 6.3 beta
How is the release cycle going to work? When will 8.2 and 8.3 come out and which is more stable for Swift work.
Re: Swift 1.2 and Xcode 6.3 beta
#18This might be easily overlooked: optional has been introduced (back-ported?) to Objective-C in the form of nullability annotation!
I think this is a much-needed feature for integrating Swift into existing large Objective-C apps. Dealing with all the AnyObject optionals coming from Cocoa frameworks makes working with Swift painful.

You only need to be at the free level though, not the $100/year, so it's not much of a barrier.

short of having a language mechanism for doing an 'uninitialized' let, conditional operators could work: let x : Something = condition ? foo() : bar() but yeah, it would be nice to defer initialization of an immutable.
Let's hope you don't have a baz.
you can torture the logic further:
let x : Something = outer_conditional ? baz() : conditional ? foo() : bar()
