Swift is exploring a cute idea for library transparency: you can distinguish between "this ABI is guaranteed to keep working" and "I want an extra layer of indirection so I can add to data structures without breaking downstream users". https://forums.swift.org/t/pitch-library-evolution-for-stable-abis/23026

I'm a huge fan of Swift's 'Error Handling Rationale' design document: https://github.com/swiftlang/swift/blob/9315673c003875158852579bd1f33480cdec5461/docs/ErrorHandlingRationale.md#fundamentals It carefully defines terminology and compares with other languages, so you can understand Swift's position and preference in the design space.
