🎉 10 years of open source Swift! A decade ago today, we opened Swift to the world with a simple blog post: swift.org/blog/welcome What's grown since—thanks to an incredible community of contributors—has been extraordinary. Here's to the next ten years. 🧡

🚨 NEW PRODUCT KLAXON 🚨 Introducing Badgeware - the next generation of wearable, hackable badges from your friends in Sheffield-on-sea. Now with tough colourful exteriors, built in batteries, and much, much more... <3 badgewa.re

⚙️ Swift progress on embedded Swift, for memory-safe, fast code in resource-constrained environments. The latest updates are coming to Swift 6.3, and you can read more here: www.swift.org/blog/embedde... #IoT

It is time for the annual State of Rust Survey! 📝✨️️ Whether you've just begun using Rust, are an experienced Rust user, stopped using Rust, or might use Rust in the future, we'd like to hear from you! 🦀 Available in ten languages and open until December 17th: blog.rust-lang.org/2025/11/17/l...

Espressif hired a bunch of Rust devs years ago and they have been quietly doing great work supporting Rust on their chips ever since. Still haven’t seen any other chip companies get close. developer.espressif.com/blog/2025/10...

Spotify is now running ICE recruitment ads. We asked them to stop. They ignored us. Let's show them what we showed Disney. No Kings, No Collaborators, No Capitulators. indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

Badges: assembled. Energy: 🔥 Tomorrow we go live at GitHub Universe—keynotes, demos, EDU-friendly sessions, and yes… a programmable badge. 🎟️ Free virtual pass + schedule → gh.io/AAy5upq

Really nice to know that this year at GitHub Universe, the hackable badge is a customized version of @pimoroni.com Tufty, but in this case, instead of based on RP2040, now it is RP2350.

@pimoroni.com something is wrong with the Pimoroni Discussion feed, the last update was 19 days ago 😢 bsky.app/profile/did:...

I finished up another in my "Concurrency Step-by-Step" series. This one is about everyone's favorite: protocols! It also has a sneak peek for a super-secret idea I'm really excited about: regular old classes. www.massicotte.org/step-by-step...

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

🚨✈️ Heads up! 🦀 French air traffic controllers have announced a strike Oct 7-9. This might result in flight cancellations & delays. We recommend: ✅ Check with your airline ✅ Plan in extra travel time ✅ Consider rerouting via non-French hubs ✅ Consider the train Travel options 👉 eurorust.eu/travel/

Swift 6.2 is here, including so much 🆕🥳: ⏩Approachable concurrency 🦺Opt-in strict memory safety 📦WebAssembly support 🏃Faster build perf for macros 🐞Enhanced async debugging 📚Inline stack-based arrays 🚇Subprocess support 🧪Test result attachments www.swift.org/blog/swift-6...

With ✨Swift 6.2 ✨, you can now target WebAssembly, including WASI support. Get started here: www.swift.org/documentatio... #Wasm

After some time, research, and a lot of reading schematics, along with many code examples in C/C++, Go, and Rust, I’ve finally managed to make the @pimoroni.com Tufty 2040 work with embassy-rs and embedded-graphics. It was full of challenges, especially because it uses a Parallel Bus instead of SPI.

You know me for my public #rustlang work, but I'm also freelancing as a programmer and consultant. I'm looking for a new customer and I'd welcome short or part-time missions. RT appreciated. dystroy.org

If you do #embedded #rust on the #rp2040 with elf2uf2-rs, and you struggle with the recent "Unrecognized ABI" error due to a change in Rust's elf header for `thumbv6m-none-eabi`, I've landed StripedMonkey's patch in both Arch Linux and Homebrew, so if you use those packages, things should work […]

In case you didn’t know, I 3d print and donate parts to help disabled gamers be able to play. I run it all through www.thecontrollerproject.com if you want to learn more. This was this weeks shipments!

Very excited to see the first cut of github.com/valkey-io/va..., which supports really lovely structured concurrency integration for accessing the client, pipelining commands, mixing that with transactions, and more! #swiftlang #valkey

Need a fast key/value datastore? The portfolio of Swift packages for building high-performance internet-scale services grew further this week with the preview of Valkey support: valkey.io/blog/valkey-...

It is funny to learn new things. Debugging a new PCB, today I finally had the opportunity to learn a bit how to use an oscilloscope. Together with it I realised the PCB I am working isn’t transmitting enough energy from one point to another. Checked on multimeter and confirmed in the oscilloscope.

Ozzy Osbourne has passed away at the age of 76

Rest in peace, Sir Ozzy!

I don’t care if he doesn’t back this up with further action, in a normal time, this is a major scandal, showing the president of the United States has nothing but contempt for the first amendment, basic rights, and his fellow citizens and will act accordingly in various ways.

I wrote something new! It’s a UI design history essay about Mac’s Control Panel, and it uses emulation in some… maybe new and maybe interesting ways? aresluna.org/frame-of-pre...

Super excited to see these components released, ping us if you use them in your app! #swift

Chip Select and Level Shifters are finally becoming my friends.

New blog post + cargo-semver-checks v0.42 is out ✨ I found some unexspected sharp edges in the `#[target_feature]` attribute. They are getting fixed (teamwork! 🤜🤛), and cargo-semver-checks now also has lints to save you from footguns! predr.ag/blog/unsound...

"When "things just work" in Rust, remember that this is extraordinary — not automatic. That feeling is the product of countless volunteers contributing their expertise and spare time, building atop each other's work for years. I'm honored to be a part of that ecosystem" 🫡

Swift SDKs for WebAssembly are now available on swift.org for 6.2 and `main` development snapshots! Huge announcement for me personally, this is something I could only dream of when almost 7 years ago I joined a few volunteers maintaining a patchset for Wasm support forums.swift.org/t/swift-sdks...

Something special is coming to #EuroRust25.. @fasterthanlime.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy and @jamesmunns.com will be recording an episode of the Self-Directed-Research podcast @sdr-podcast.com — live on stage! 🦀 Hear what they've been nerd-sniped by lately. It’s gonna be smart, chaotic, and very Rust.

I made a starter pack of people that have either helped me with technical problems or that I've seen help others. Though it could be cool share. (I kinda hate that you are forced to include yourself in these things but whatever) go.bsky.app/Tw6RBQU

Do you have a Raspberry Pi and want to develop Swift apps for it! I've been building some cool tools to help you! Send me a DM if you're interested. The Edge tools help you quickly flash a pi. Connect to it over USB or WiFi, and just upload and run the app normally from VSCode. Debugging supported.
