swift language grammar in general, and specific question

[mo...@mobiphil.com]

Hi,

new to the language, but more interested from the language syntax point of view.
found the grammar definition on the website, but have some questions that from the grammar is not clear.
do not have an mac computer, so no Xcode, cannot test certain things. 

here some questions, would more than welcome your answers;

1. according to the grammar, an empty block is not a valid statement, for instance a simple 

var i = 10
{

}

or inside o function

func f()
{

   {

   }

}

2. is there any discussion group about the grammar, parser itself? 

I am interested to write an open source parser/compiler for the language, any hint (technical, legal, participation interest) would be more than wellcome

regards,

mobiphil

an "empty block" is in reality an "unused closure"

// Int variable with value 10

var i = 10

// invalid use of closure

{

}

// valid, but unusable :-)

() =

{

}()
