Look, there's an official #Claude LSP plugin for #swiftlang @swift.org now! github.com/anthropics/c... github.com/anthropics/c...

I'm seriously considering rebranding myself as a "cross-platform Swift developer" compared to "Apple platform developer". Swift in the cloud and on Android is doing amazing and for me this will be the future. 👨🏻‍💻

github.com/swiftlens/sw... anybody experience if this improves Claude code? #swiftlang

My talk from ServerSide is up!

I was experimenting with claude sub agents and created this tool. Might help somebody. Agents make managing conversation a lot easier. I'm still searching for the best way to use them but this is a start. I'm curious how you use it? All in #swiftlang doozmen-stijn-willems.ghost.io/claude-agent...

Just discovered Universal Control by accident. My MacBook's trackpad suddenly controlled my Mac Studio - no cables. Turns out Apple built this years ago. One keyboard, two Macs, cursor flows between screens. Works perfectly once you get it.

The AI bubble: everyone building "better search" because that's the frame people understand. The actual shift: AI as context engineering—understanding YOUR data, YOUR work, creating value from what you already have. That's not search. That's different.

New tooling for profiling performance-critical services with Swift -- introducing the Swift Profile Recorder. More here: www.swift.org/blog/swift-p...

Just double checked temporal, looks interesting. „Pure“ workflows and activities like effect operations, they even have a SideEffect term in their docs. 🙃 Replaying workflows and blocking them indefinitely also looks nice, and it’s language agnostic. 🤔

Fall is a great season for another founder update. @meetlisa.bsky.social shares a few thoughts on #GermanUnityDay, has gathered some figures (transparency!!!), and reflects on participating (and skipping) business events. telemetrydeck.com/blog/fall-update-2025/?source=bluesky

Fantastic! @mikaelacaron.com just announced learnswift.space, a new blog about leaning swift 😍

Device Check on server-side Swift: You need the private key from App Store Connect, not embedded in your app. The app uses DeviceCheck framework client-side, your Vapor/Hummingbird server validates tokens server-side with the .p8 key. #swiftlang #serversideSwift2025

If a team that lived in C and Go can build production container infrastructure in Swift, the language is ready for serious server-side systems work. - Eric Ernst, Apple #swiftlang #serversideSwift2025 github.com/apple/contai...

During her AWS internship, Mona Dierickx built the Swift Bedrock Library - a type-safe wrapper that turns 20 lines of boilerplate AWS SDK code into 5 clean lines. No more string model IDs or manual config. #swiftlang #serversideSwift2025

Swift gets durable workflows! The Swift Temporal SDK brings true fault-tolerant execution to server-side Swift. Write workflows that survive crashes, restarts, and failures—your code persists state automatically and resumes from interruption. #swiftlang #serversideSwift2025

@tachyonics.bsky.social Question on smockable's preprocessorFlag option I feel like it should be the default to wrap generated code from the macro with DEBUG NO? #swiftlang #serversideSwift2025

The Swift compiler is your first line of defense for server deployments. Pull runtime failures into compile-time by avoiding Any types, untyped dictionaries, and implicit unwraps. Type safety isn’t academic—it’s what keeps your servers running. #swiftlang #serversideSwift2025

🔍 Context propagation in distributed tracing From @slashmo's FOSDEM 2025 talk on server-side Swift observability: When a request hits your edge proxy, it creates a root span. How does that trace context flow through your microservices? #swiftlang #serversideSwift2025

Small team using Swift on AWS Lambda for production backend. They share SPM packages between iOS app and server, use Soto for AWS integration, Step Functions for orchestration. Talk: "Swift Lambdas at Scale" - SongShift's architecture #seversideSwift2025

Today was day 1/2 #serversideSwift2025 I loved it. I took audio using whisper note and fed transcriptions into claude. Then I installed historian mcp to analyse my conversations. This I feed to claude code to build me a swift agent. If it works I will open source if there is interest? #swiftlang

How much data do you need? Georg Tuparev is talking about building Exabyte scale storage for Swift

Georg Tuparev #serversideSwift2025 13.4PB containers (6 racks, 42 pods) storing 42 months of observatory data. 10Gb/s backbone, 11kW peak power. Using SeaweedFS bridge during migration from Java to Swift. Transaction flow: Client login → Request UUID → Stream data → Checksum → Replicate. #swiftlang

Georg Tuparev presenting a Swift-based distributed storage system handling up to 100 exabytes. Features automatic replication, data healing, and geographically-aware compliance. Built with server-side Swift What's the biggest data challenge you're solving with Swift on the server? #swiftlang

At #serversideSwift2025 - @serversideswift.info on why Span matters for cross-platform Swift. ByteBuffer (server), Data (iOS), UInt8 arrays (embedded) - different bag-of-bytes types everywhere. Span gives a unified view, eliminates copies in JSON encoding/decoding. #swiftlang

Emma Gaubert breaking down Vapor vs Hummingbird at #serversideSwift2025: Vapor = opinionated, batteries included Hummingbird = flexible, bring your own components Which trade-offs fit your use case? #swiftlang

@massicotte.org on Swift concurrency. His talk on non-isolated non-sending in 6.2 solves the isolation mismatch issues. The @concurrent attribute gives explicit actor hopping control. What isolation patterns work for your server code? @serversideswift.info #serversideSwift2025 #swiftlang

Adam Fowler mentioned valkey-swift uses parameter packs for type-safe commands—but said it was "quite problematic". tradeoff: GET returns the right type, not a generic token Anyone using it in production? Worth the complexity? swift.org/blog/pack-iteration #swiftlang #serversideSwift2025

Adam Fowler just demoed a real-time chat server valkey-swift Hummingbird at #serversideSwift2025. Cluster setup, streams for pub/sub, Redis compatibility. Built a chat app in ~100 lines. What's your caching/messaging stack look like? github.com/valkey-io/valkey-swift #swiftlang

Swift 6.2 brings C performance safely Ben Cohen keynote at #serversideSwift2025 • Span - borrowed views, compile-time lifetime checks • InlineArray - stack allocation • UniqueArray - no reference counting in swift-collections. Swift Profile Recorder for in-process profiling released. #swiftlang

@serversideswift.info 25% up!!

So happie to be @serversideswift.info again

And to state the obvious: I don't trust this thing (the AI agent or LLM.) Just like I wouldn't trust any dev or contractor I would have hired... and how I don't even fully trust myself. So I have it validate its work... then I validate it... and then automate the validation!

... and this is EXACTLY why software engineers will be more in-demand. The reason it took me ~2.5 hours to build something that is correct and works as it should (that would have taken me days before) is because I did this so many times! Burnt myself failing etc. No shortcuts I know of...

... and now it's done, and I've onboarded the first company on to this feature. Here's the thing without this AI tool, I don't think I would have EVER done it! Not worth it. So I think AI tools will do this. People + companies doing stuff they wouldn't have, before!

Swift isn't just for client apps: when Elytra moved from Node to Swift for their server code, they benefited from better performance and a unified codebase. More here: elytra.app/blog/2025/10...

Mads’ topic is soooo good! Very eager for it

D’haese spreekt over “reputatieschade voor het land” Wat een gezever. Kan deze soap eens ophouden? Toen Aalst wereldwijd onder vuur lag wegens antisemitische praalwagens trok hij zich er niks van aan. En laten we wel wezen: de enige reputatieschade is het lakse optreden van België tegen genocide.

Internationale handelsoorlogen, veiligheidsproblemen in onze steden, klimaatverstoring en overbevolkte gevangenissen. Je zou denken dat onze premier wel andere dingen te doen heeft dan relletjes op te poken en zich als een partijvoorzitter te gedragen.

🧵 VN bevestigt vandaag officieel: Israël pleegt genocide in Gaza. Terwijl duizenden Palestijnse kinderen sterven, ging De Wever haastig naar Duitsland voor een concert - niet uit liefde voor muziek, maar uit angst voor "antisemitisme" labels.
