A discussion about monads, whether Swift's flatMap is monadic, where you can use monads in Swift and where you can use some monad-like behaviors in Swift.

I present a few random number generators in Swift and investigate their quality versus performance. I also look at performance implementations and see if I can make a C algorithm run as fast as Swift.

Partial functions in Swift, Part 1: Avoidance
Partial functions (functions with preconditions) are a risky design choice. You probably have a few in your program, even if you haven't clearly identified them. Learn how to recognize them, learn about their risks, learn to avoid them and learn why you might choose to use them anyway.
