I am reading <a href="https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Swift Book</a> - ie <em>The Swift Programming Language, Swift 5.7</em> as part of my cs193p homework, and this morning, in a coffee shop was admiring what a clear, well written explanation was given for <a href="https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/LanguageGuide/Closures.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">closures</a> . It is super well written, stepping the reader through in logical (and digestible) steps.</p> <p>If you&rsquo;ve never carelessly passed around a pointer to a function and caused the Blue Screen of Death, or done much multi-threaded programming, the use-case for closures, and use of them is going to be challenging at first. Then Swift&rsquo;s ability to cut the syntax down to very little will be challenging.</p>
