A few days back, I needed to iterate three sequences at once. While Swift supports zip, allowing you to zip two sequences together and iterate across item pairs, until variadic generics hits the language, there’s no way to directly zip three or more.

Until that kind of tech hits the language, you can construct nested tuples for your occasional zip-3 or zip-4 needs without overly straining readability as in this example:

for (value1, (value2, value3)) in zip(seq1, zip(seq2, seq3)) {
  // use value1, value2, value3
}

I thought I’d leave this here in case it was of help to anyone.
