Going to chime in a bit here... "Avoid #if os(Linux)… When you do this, you lose all help from Xcode. It can’t do syntax checking” ... That’s not correct. Jeff was seeing the effect of something else blocking this from happening.

arc4random, yeah, it doesn't exist on Linux currently, but there are other options that are better anyway, like using TurnstleCrypto.

For Perfect, there's also a macOS app that aside from helping the process of starting projects, dependencies, building etc - it also integrates a standardized Docker Ubuntu 16 image which also hooks into Xcode so when you build it's also building in Ubuntu and therefore catches linux-specific build issues immediately.

Anyway, my 2c.

(Full disclosure, I work on the Perfect dev team)

FWIW, if anyone wants to discuss, join us on our Slack channel via http://perfect.ly

My handle on that channel is, surprisingly, the same as here, @iamjono.
