The single Swift feature I’m looking forward to the most is conditional conformance. I think it’s going to have a major impact on a lot of my code. Most immediate win would be conditional Equatable conformance.

Eidhof co-wrote Advanced Swift and Functional Swift, and runs a neat swift resource website objc.io. He’s a great mentor for anyone just getting into Swift or in that intermediate phase where “taking things to the next level” becomes valid.
