<<Back to Index
- Ten years of swift!
- Already added a platform steering group,
- Adding an ecosystem workgroup, and embedded workgroup
- Already available on apple, Linux, windows
- Expanding to fedora and Debian
- Also making progress on wasm
- SourceKit LSP, for using vscode and others
- Cross compilation from Mac to Linux
- Fully static Linux sdk
--swift-sdk ...musl compile flag
- Foundation
- Foundation is now completely in swift, now for all platforms
- Open source
- Swift Testing
- Open source, cross platform, modern swift, multiple IDEs
- Explicitly built modules
- More parallelism
- Debugger can re-use artifacts. Should remove long waits for initial breakpoint.
- Opt-in in build settings
- New GitHub org, “swiftlang” instead of just under apple’s org
- Swift 6 language mode
- Noncopyable types
- Ideal for structs with file descriptors as properties
- Now can be used in generics and optionals
- Embedded swift
- New language subset and compilation subset
- Disables language features that need runtime support
- Still very close to full swift
- Tiny (static) binary sizes
- Used by the Secure Enclave
- Incremental adoption via interoperability
- C++ interop
- More std types can be directly imported
- Incrementally adopt swift in c++ apps
- Typed throws
- Good when propagating error types in generics, or constrained environments ie embedded, or perhaps when consumed in the same module
- Data race safety
- New synchronization primitives, Atomics, Mutex
