[Pitch ⚾️] Simplifying effects of throwing and asynchronous functions

[vanvoorden (Rick van Voorden)]

My production server already depends on this patch. Please hotfix on a 6.1.1 release ASAP.

@itaiferber

struct S {
    var x: Int {
        mutaconsuming _modiread {
             borrow_yield &whatever
        }
    }
}

Too real.

@grynspan

thrawaitf f() { ... }
thrart x: T { ... }
thrubscrait(n: T) -> U { ... }

Wot ’id u just call me, mate??

[austintatious (Austin)]

±1 for me

[grynspan (Jonathan Grynspan)]

No, I don't want no thrubscraits

[technogen (Gor Gyolchanyan)]

I'd really like to see access modifiers be made more compact as well:

pubruct User {
    pubnit(name: String) {
        self.name = name
    }
    prilet name: String
    fileprunc describe() {
        print(name)
    }
}
``

Imo Swift is too verbose altogether. I propose to extend the pitch and simply deprecate all Swift syntax in favor of punchcards.

[hmlongco (Michael Long)]

Misses out on adding the same type of syntactic sugar to function signatures, does it not?

func f() async throws -> X

Could be...

func f() thasyncs -> X

Just add the "s" to the proposed keywords and we're gold!

This was an April Fool's Day joke; I don't think we need to keep it open. If folks want to have an earnest discussion, it's probably best to start a new thread.
