Where Do Proposals For Improvements to Apple Swift API wrappers go?

Thanks for asking :)

As the others on this thread have noted, unfortunately working on Foundation means threading the needle of a number of requirements:

  • We absolutely want your feedback and your input. That can take the form of bug reports, but we want to hear you in whatever form helps you most.

  • The bar for Foundation API changes is pretty high. The history of the Foundation framework is measured in decades and we want new changes to stand the test of time on that magnitude.

  • We don't quite have an Evolution process for Foundation. Part of what we do requires an extensive internal review process, and part of it means fitting what we do with future plans. But we do want to make sure your input isn't lost.

To this end: if you have a proposal for a new API or feedback on an existing one, I encourage you to start a new topic in the Core Libraries category with the foundation-pitch tag — we will try and respond to discuss and refine your proposal, and figure out what the consensus is.
