It seems like you're interested in the concept of "any existential container" in the context of Swift. At WWDC 2024, there were several sessions that touched on related topics, such as SwiftUI containers and Swift's type system.
-
Demystify SwiftUI containers: This session introduced new APIs for building custom container views in SwiftUI, which can support various capabilities like sections and custom modifiers. It also discussed the concept of container values, a new kind of keyed storage in SwiftUI, which can be used for container-specific customization options. You can learn more about this in the Demystify SwiftUI containers session.
-
Consume noncopyable types in Swift: This session explored Swift's type system, including the concept of noncopyable types and how they interact with Swift's ownership system. It also discussed the broader space of types that do not conform to
Copyable
, which might be relevant to your interest in existential containers. You can explore this topic further in the Consume noncopyable types in Swift session.
If you have more specific questions about these topics or need further details, feel free to ask!
