Watched Swift talk about string interpolation in Swift 5. Yes, Swift 5 is coming.

Read very old post of Natasha The Robot Swift: What are Protocols with Associated Types?.

That’s it! A protocol with associated type is just a fancy term to a protocol that has generics in it. By using PATs (and protocols in general), we have a powerful tool that promotes really nice composition in favor of messy inheritance.

Then watched Alexis Gallagher’s talk Protocols with Associated Types. Very good explanation of what Protocols with associated types are.

Are Protocols with associated types just generic protocols with wacky syntax? No. And yes, sort of.
