Just wanted to upvote the conditional conformances <https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0143-conditional-conformances.md> proposal.
I was bummed to find out that I couldn’t do this:
extension Array:Drawable where Element == CGPoint{}
Bosses at Apple: if you are reading this, please allow the swift compiler team the bandwidth to work on this. Thanks.

They are. If you take a look at recent pull requests at <Pull requests · apple/swift · GitHub, you'll see all sorts of conditional-conformance-related stuff is being worked on right now.
In fact, the first conditional conformances (making Array, Dictionary, and Optional conform to Equatable) briefly landed a few days ago: <https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/12910> Unfortunately, they had to be backed out because they broke a couple tests, but that's software development, right?

In many software projects in the real world the tests would have been gone not the code... *weeps as that is so true :/“...
