The Swift compiler is under active development and has a number of known
problems. Here are some of the most commonly encountered issues:
* Spectacularly poor error messages: the compiler will often report the unhelpful errors "expression does not type-check" or "assignment does not type-check", preceded by a debugging dump.
* Spectacularly poor error messages: the compiler will often report the
unhelpful errors "expression does not type-check" or "assignment does not
type-check", preceded by a debugging dump.
* Run-time errors abort: run-time errors such as an out-of-bounds array access are detected by the standard library, which immediately aborts without reporting a problem. Moreover, such errors are not trapped in the REPL, and will cause the REPL itself to crash.

are detected by the standard library, which immediately aborts without
reporting a problem. Moreover, such errors are not trapped in the REPL, and
will cause the REPL itself to crash.
* Protocol support is limited: creating a variable of protocl type without initializing it results in a variable that is unusable; any attempt to query or assign it will cause a crash. Additionally, Objective-C protocols are not supported.
* Run-time safety: The compiler does not yet check for many error conditions
and instead compiles and executes code with undefined behavior. In
particular, functions can fall off the end without returning a value, and
uninitialized variables will be zero-initialized instead of using a default
constructor or raising an error.
* Generics support is limited: only basic generic types and functions currently work. For example, one cannot create a type that has an instance variable whose type is that of a type parameter.
