More generally, what's the status concerning Swift on LO?
Just a thought: Most of our Objective-C files are actually
Objective-C++. That is, they also contain C++, and freely call various
LibreOffice C++ functionality as needed. If they were "converted" to
Swift, that would not be possible, but some complicated glue layer
inbetween would need to be written. Which seems like a lot of pain for
little gain. Or am I outdated, can you use C++ in Swift source files
nowadays?
Hi Tor,
You're completely right, I knew that Swift was a recent language used by
Apple but had missed the fact it wasn't ready yet to interface with C++,
