Yeah, of course you can. But at that point, it stops being the idiomatic Swift language. My original post is not a critic for the slowness of the language. It does (like the other post mentioned) better than Python which is what I set out to do. I do think Swift can do better though, especially with ownership so that most of refcount'ed classes can be migrated to struct and still retain most of the easiness when just use these. The standard library probably can be optimized further so the idiomatic array can be sufficient for the author's case when it can etc etc.

> especially with ownership Yeah, the ownership manifesto is likely to be a big help. https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/main/docs/OwnershipManifesto.md https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/main/docs/OwnershipManif... But I wouldn't hold my breath. I was hoping it would come with the Concurrency proposal (which will likely fill the next year of major features in Swift) but they've decoupled the two. My guess is Ownership is 2-3 years away.
