It seems like you're interested in the topic of generics, particularly in the context of Swift programming. At WWDC 2024, there was a session titled "Consume noncopyable types in Swift" that delved into the concept of noncopyable generics. This session explained how Swift's existing generics model can be used to handle noncopyable types, which are a new addition to Swift's type system.
In Swift 6, you can now use noncopyable generics, which allow you to define types that do not conform to the copyable protocol. This is particularly useful for types like BankTransfer, which should not be copied due to their nature. The session also covered how to remove the copyable constraint from generic parameters using the ~copyable syntax, which broadens the types permitted by being less specific.
For more detailed information, you might want to check out the session "Consume noncopyable types in Swift" from WWDC 2024, particularly the chapter on Generics starting at Generics (11:52).
If you have any more specific questions about this topic or other sessions from WWDC, feel free to ask!
Consume noncopyable types in Swift
Get started with noncopyable types in Swift. Discover what copying means in Swift, when you might want to use a noncopyable type, and how value ownership lets you state your intentions clearly.
Go small with Embedded Swift
Embedded Swift brings the safety and expressivity of Swift to constrained environments. Explore how Embedded Swift runs on a variety of microcontrollers through a demonstration using an off-the-shelf Matter device. Learn how the Embedded Swift subset packs the benefits of Swift into a tiny footprint with no runtime, and discover plenty of resources to start your own Embedded Swift adventure.
A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design
Learn the essential features and design philosophy of the Swift programming language. We’ll explore how to model data, handle errors, use protocols, write concurrent code, and more while building up a Swift package that has a library, an HTTP server, and a command line client. Whether you’re just beginning your Swift journey or have been with us from the start, this talk will help you get the most out of the language.
