Hi all,
this is a rather minor nitpick, I'm just looking for some opinions on this.
Declaring a function that has default parameters currently looks like this:
func foo(bar: String = "baz") {
print(bar)
}
Now I'm wondering if there would be any problems if it were possible to omit the type annotation for default params and let Swift's type inference handle that.
func foo(bar = "baz") {
print(bar)
}
It feels to be equivalent to omitting type annotations with variable declarations. Obviously more complex types would still require annotations being specified. Off the top of my head I can't think of any negative ramifications this might bring, be it in simple function/method declarations or protocol extensions and elsewhere.
Any further input on this would be much appreciated :)
Cheers,
Kilian
