Omer is an iOS Dev at SEA Group, although he is often found serenading to functional programming. He loves wasting time on developing toy compilers. There are rumors thar he prays to a bust of Chris Lattner, though these are unconfirmed.
Swift aimed to do Unicode right. What does that really mean? And how does it impact performance?

It will also peek under the hood of swift’s implementation and how it optimises common cases.
