Remove the ++ and -- operators • Proposal: SE-0004 • Author: Chris Lattner • Status: Implemented (Swift 3) • Commit: apple/swift@8e12008 Introduction The increment/decrement operators in Swift were added very early in the development of Swift, as a carry-over from C. These were added without much consideration, and haven’t been thought about much since then. This document provides a fresh look at them, and ultimately recommends we just remove them entirely, since they are confusing and not carrying their weight.
What it means

A screenshot of a Swift evolution proposal titled “Remove the ++ and -- operators.” The joke is that Swift developers are stereotyped as enthusiastically removing familiar programming features, so the image is sent as a sarcastic reaction to Swift’s design decisions.
