You may now place multiple if let bindings on a single line separated by a comma, rather than embed them in increasingly indented pyramids.
For example, previously you would write code like this:
if let user = loadUsername() {
if let password = decryptPassword() {
authenticate(user, password)
}
}As of Swift 1.2 you can write this:
if let user = loadUsername(), let password = decryptPassword() {
authenticate(user, password)
}
