What's new in Swift 5?

I am an iOS developer at Tinkoff.ru. In this article, I will give a brief overview of the main changes in Swift 5. These changes are described in release notes.

The Mathematical Basics of Auto Layout

Many developers believe that Auto Layout is a brake and a problem, and it is extremely difficult to debug it. And it’s good if this conclusion is made on the basis of my own experience, and sometimes it’s just “I heard, I won’t even try to make friends with him”. But perhaps the reason is not outside, but inside.
