A little bit cheesy? People should file Apple radars if they there's functionality missing in a Beta Language. Not just try to catch attention and stars in Git

  MrGando I felt '$.' was needed to avoid less typing for developers while at the same time introducing a namespace that doesn't conflict with anything in the developers project. Namespace is needed to avoid conflicts with function names as those same functions could be defined inside another function or class causing compiler errors when building. Before calling this project useless please consider the alternative which is none. Apple will take its time even if you tell them to implement these. You can either implement these helper methods yourself or you can use this or another library. Out of the thousands of people who saw this and liked it I expect few haters like you cause "If people don't hate then it won't be right"

    I have a feeling MRGando means the library doesn't look idiomatic enough. Though this meaning is lost behind the tone of the message.

  Well... actually you have a good point about some projects existing mostly (if not only) for self-promotion purpose. Talking about Swift's expressiveness. After skimming through Apple's Swift book I tend to agree with you. I misunderstood your first comment having a thought you wanted Swift code to be more like Objective C.
