...), and all the other possibilities are almost impossible (0.001). In other words, our prior certainty is that I is cheap. Then we get: Prior P(f=x) x P(o=2/2|f=x) P(o=2/2&& f=x) P(o=2/2&&f >= x) P(f >= x | o=2/2) 0.001 1 1 ...

...rammers, this is also very familiar concept. This is exactly what const keyword do in C/C++. Also, immutable value can be very nicely optimised. In theory, Swift compiler (or LLVM) can perform copy-elision on values passed by let, just like in C++. If you use immutable struct wisely, it will outper...
