Is there a Swift version coming out?

[funky-monkey]

I've been using your library for quite some time now and love it. Also fully made the transition to Swift.
Can you tell me if and when there will be a Swift version coming out? I'd love use it! If you need testers for this let me know!

Cheers,
Sidney

It's unlikely that ObjectiveRecord will ever become pure-Swift given that it has to piggyback on Core Data, which is not, though I guess I should never say "unlikely ever". The road to ObjectiveRecord being at the least more pleasant to use with Swift in the meantime:

1. Rename where methods/functions to use something else, as this is a keyword in Swift.
2. Release 2.0, which uses chaining and is a bit more friendly with dot-syntax Swift: https://github.com/supermarin/ObjectiveRecord/tree/2-0-experimental

Sadly, both our attentions have been elsewhere lately, but maybe @supermarin can weigh in more.

I did make a start, but am time constrained too at the moment to finish it out. https://github.com/dglancy/SwiftRecord/tree/dg/dev

@zaiddag Neat! Though couldn't you get rid off all that forced casting by using Self in those functions?

[reaperdtme]

@stephencelis sadly no. Calls to Core Data like NSEntityDescription.insertNewObjectForEntityForName return AnyObject. There is no support for casting into Self. It seems Self is only useful if you're using your class constructors. Also, there is no support for [Self] return types either.
