Thanks for the clarification. I wasn’t sure if alloc and new needed to be exposed to support some particular functionality - I’m glad to hear that this isn’t necessary.
Thanks for all of the great work that everyone has been doing on Swift. Your team is really amazing.
Sincerely,
Michael Patrick Ellard

What I would expect:
A) Swift would not expose alloc or `new` at all. There shouldn’t be a way to create objects without going through an initializer.
Hi Mike,
You’re right, new and alloc shouldn’t be exposed to a Swift programmer. They are effectively an implementation detail (which isn't memory safe to expose as you point out). Thanks for filing the radar, we’ll take care of it when we can.
