Summary
This PR proposes a new rule to always inline the
let
keyword when destructuring enum cases and tupesReasoning
Consistency: We should prefer to either always inline the
let
keyworkd or never inline thelet
keyword. In Airbnb's Swift codebase, we observed that inlinelet
is used far more often in practice (especially when destructuring enum cases with a single associated value).Clarity: Inlining the
let
keyword makes it more clear which identifiers are part of the conditional check and which identifiers are binding new variables, since thelet
keyword is always adjacent to the variable identifier.Please react with 👍/👎 if you agree or disagree with this proposal.
