How to write typeof in swift

Question

I'd like to ask you how can I rewrite this piece of objective-c code to swift:

__weak typeof(self) this = self;

Thank you

You should use Capture list in your closure. You can choose between using [weak self] or [unowned self]. The difference is that in unowned self you must be 100% sure the object is never nil. Example:

var myClosure = {
    [unowned self] in
    print(self.description)
}
