When you are a Swift godot user, every day is xmas! forums.swift.org/t/pitch-emsc...

I post a lot about tech that I’m skeptical about, so let me cleanse the timeline with some tech I find genuinely awesome. 1. @swift.org (Especially web servers on Linux, and WASM in the browser. Full stack!) 2. @atproto.com (Open social with open APIs? Love it.) 3. @railway.com (Chef’s kiss.)

📐Announcing Swift System Metrics 1.0! 🎉 A stable API for process-level monitoring on Linux and macOS. Add it to your service in a few lines, plug into Prometheus or OTel, and start visualizing in Grafana. Contributions welcome! www.swift.org/blog/swift-s...

🤖 Here's my Swift APK plugin! Build a Package.swift into a fully functional Android APK in one command. I've added an example to start playing with. github.com/orlandos-nl/...

Actively looking for my next role as a Senior Software Engineer Focus: iOS (Swift). Also backend (Java/Kotlin, TS, Swift). 10+ years shipping apps. Love building scalable and reliable systems 🇩🇪 German citizen (EU work auth) CV: github.com/akbashev/akb... Reposts appreciated 🙏 #Swift #iOS #Backend

🚨 solbachleads.de is looking for a Swift Server engineer! Strong expertise in PSQL & data processing required. They're based in Bonn/Coluogne area. A candidate near Bonn/Cologne, and German proficiency are a plus. Remote is possible too.

@arcticconference.bsky.social was amazing! Certainly a top-tier conference. Most notably; a very funny and energetic MC who made it all extremely memorable. I would love to go back next year; whether as speaker or attendee. It was a blast.

NL fucked up good today. I’ve never considered emigration more seriously.

🚀 Swift Rockies tickets are LIVE. This is the conference where Swift meets the physical world. I'm showing you how to take Swift beyond iOS: servers, Android, embedded devices. Your Swift skills can power anything. Don't miss it: swiftrockies.com/joannis-work...

The actual @arcticconference.bsky.social hasn’t even started yet and its already been fantastic!

Swift on the web! 🚀 Very cool demo! youtu.be/OmQ881sOTIc?... #swiftlang #swift #swiftwasm #wasm

@signalgaining just pushed a new library! TensorRT-Swift allows you to run various AI models on WendyOS or other Linux + NVIDIA machines. github.com/wendylabsinc... We're working hard on improving it further, bringing high performance AI to all Swift developers.

Hey, look; @nick and Studioworks featured in a blog post on #swift .org! I'm also still very happy with our choice of Swift for web development. https://mastodon.social/@swiftlang/115986854190607798

The past two weeks I've hit a new level with LLM-assisted coding. Found a feedback loop: define code standards -> add as Skills -> have Claude turn them into linter rules. The code quality is incredible. github.com/Joannis/clau...

MLX-Swift now works in CPU mode through SwiftPM! Here's an LLM running inside a Hummingbird app on my WendyOS device!

I'm very eager to finally announce WendyOS! Develop your first Embedded project in a few minutes, not hours or days! wendy.sh/blog/claire-...

Very excited for FOSDEM! I have a lot of cool projects and ideas to share.

📽️ Lots of fun projects being showcased on the forums recently. Here are a few recent favorites... Check out forums.swift.org/c/community-... for more!

Windows developers, you're invited! 🪟 We just launched a Windows workgroup to make Swift even better on Windows: improving the toolchain, core packages, API bridging, and deployment experiences. Curious? Interested in contributing? You're welcome here. 👉 swift.org/blog/announcing-windows-workgroup/

A reminder: Being silent doesn't make you neutral. Being silent makes you side with the aggressor.

It's insane how Adolf Trump is still going, and ramping up. I'm sorry for all who live in the fourth reich right now.

Hummingbird is getting some big upgrades soon! 🎂 Improved Authentication (OAuth, Access Control) ⚙️ Durable Workflows Support 📒 Jobs & User Dashboarding 🤖 Admin Command Line tools

WendyOS Device discovery over BLE, LAN and USB! Just a single `wendy run` away from launching Hummingbird 2 on my Raspberry pi!

Swift-WebSocket now supports HTTP and SOCKS proxies! github.com/hummingbird-...

Skip, the SwiftUI for Android stack is now open source. The post details how they are going to fund their future work: skip.dev/blog/skip-is...

Skip for Swift on Android is now opensource! Go and try it out today! skip.dev

hot take, if you want to give an OSS maintainer money, give them money. Github Sponsors exists, or you can literally ask them how/where to donate and everyone will be quite happy to share payment info.

We’ve made huge leaps with remote debugging, platform availability annotations, java interoperability, and more! Coming soon are things like vscode support, packaging tools (apk & aar) Wel’ll be releasing proper with Swift 6.3

It's been three months since Swift on Android launched with nightly previews. The ecosystem is growing much faster than I expected. This is just the beginning!

Making a terminal dashboard for WendyOS' container environment. You can filter by app, or get all the OS' logs as well.

Continuing the topic of highlighting cool things you can do: Swift on Embedded 🎂 Native C++ interop 💪 Buildable through CMake or SwiftPM 🤖 RISCV and ARM support: ESP32 or RPi Pico 🚨 An extremely enthusiastic community 🎁 Memory Safe Join the fun! www.swift.org/get-started/...

Did you know Swift 6.2 ships with first-class WASM? ✅ Compile to WASM ✅ Embedded Swift mode for tiny WASM binaries ✅ JavaScriptKit for seamless browser interop! ✅ Run WASM binaries inside your Swift apps on any platform! www.swift.org/documentatio...

Final call to RSVP for the Swift Pre-FOSDEM Community Event: Friday January 30th in Brussels! swiftlang.github.io/event-fosdem/ Seats are filling up fast!

Being able to read and write Ext4 using Swift code is an insane superpower!

Getting ready for WendyOS remote debugging through swift-container-plugin! 💪 github.com/apple/swift-...

Swift Effect is now in public preview! it is an architecture-agnostic effect system that makes side effects (such as I/O, networking, randomness, concurrency) controllable, composable, and testable without forcing structural changes to your application code. github.com/Alex-Ozun/sw... #swiftlang

🇪🇺👀

I love what Tauri has done, a lightweight version of Electron, where you author the backend code in Rust. But while I love Rust, I do not love it for app building, and I wanted to have that HTML-model for programming but available in Swift. 1/2

Working with @signalgaining on some cool new libraries! Coming to a WendyOS device near you shortly! github.com/wendylabsinc... What else are we cooking?

Holy! No shot! That is a good present

This is xMas for #Swiftlang developers too. The Visual Studio Code extension for Swift is now available on Open VSX Registry open-vsx.org/extension/sw... You can now install it as easily as other extensions from code-oss-based IDE, such as Kiro, Windsurf, Cursor etc. Happy coding !

Building the future is exciting!

Latest round of updates in the Swift for Wasm ecosystem is here! forums.swift.org/t/swift-for-... #Wasm #WebAssembly #WASI #SwiftLang #JavaScript

Wow! The first SwiftGodot-based game is on the AppStore: apps.apple.com/us/app/termi...

📢 #Swiftlang is headed to FOSDEM with a Swift pre-FOSDEM Community Event on Fri 30 Jan (12-6PM) in Brussels AND we have talks at various devrooms ! 🤗 Check out how we're showing up: swiftlang.github.io/event-fosdem/ Things to know – 📌 RSVP here: s.apple.com/dn5G2r2Ns6 📌 CFP is now open til 5 Jan

The @arcticconference.bsky.social was one of the best weeks I had this year, so I'm happy to return to Oulu in February. Not as a speaker, but just to come back and enjoy one of the best conferences out there 🫶 If you haven't bought your ticket, go treat yourself with an early Christmas present!

Exploring the Swift SDK for Android: updates on ongoing progress! www.swift.org/blog/explori...

Want to meet up about Swift? Android, Linux, Emebdded or something else? Find me at FOSDEM or @arcticconference.bsky.social ! More events added to the list very soon.

Dijkstra predicted in 1978 how people would feel about #Swift Strict Concurrency checking in 2025.

CALL FOR PAPERS 📑 For the swift community event the day before #FOSDEM is now open!! See you there 😊 #swiftlang #swift #oss
