Is Swift evolution out of control?

Question

When I see proposals to extend Swift like this and the number of pages of discussion I wonder if they&rsquo;ll ever stop adding features to the Swift language:https://twitter.com/beccadax/status/1613985852212011008?s=46&t=-728BLnCajBrnR4ZFb1VaA

Look at the async/await, actor, actor&rsquo;s init and async init, global actor, async let, etc. search in the swift&rsquo;s forum. It will amaze you. they are problematic. Keep adding things and increase the complexities.

A language that doesn't evolve is a dead language
Just like with English ;)
Discussions are great, they help shape ideas and fix misunderstandings
Swift about to get proper semantic for lifetime/ownership management, that's great, helps write better software, it wouldn't be possible if it wasn't an evolving language
It still is a young language and already replaced Obj-c and about to replace C/C++ at Apple

Every language needs new features to continue to meet demand and to improve performance.
Swift is a young language compared to Objective C so it needs to continue to grow and mature.
Not sure why you’re so against this.
I’m a C# gal myself and I’m often updating my knowledge to pick up new features that come out - and thus improving my code in either readability or functionality.

Agree. I said that all the time. They just keep adding things.
