I built a Swift library called JustSugar to help new Swift developers coming from TypeScript. Just sugar does two things:

  1. Adds useful Array and String methods inspired by JS like .at, .slice, .join, etc.
  2. Adds all the most common JS Array and String methods to Swift, with deprecation warnings where Swift has an alternative that is just as good.
    • In this case we want to prefer the Swift method, so a deprecation warning is shown when reaching for the JS method. This is perfect for new Swift developers coming from JavaScript or TypeScript.
