Issue #32

Hi there!

Hope you're doing good and working toward your goals, whatever they are (whether that's work, resting more, spending more time with family, or protecting what's yours).

I won't share the negative takes not to point fingers (I also don't have that many fingers 😂). Here's a few other takes on this, with a bonus positivity thread in the end. Tell me what you think!

Here's a thread about improvements to generics and protocols:

On the practical side of things, here's a regex to replace all if let x = x { with the new shorthand if let x {:

Compiler errors ftw

Truth. Linters are also nice :)
