How small does Swift go? Tiny enough to run on a breadboard? From #WWDC24, this session by @kubamracek shows how you can build a simple HomeKit accessory that runs on a RISC-V device. And for extra credit, the demo shows off Neovim support for Swift! ✨https://t.co/8PWGqa5XvH

Check out my talk on noncopyable types in Swift! https://t.co/rKrPPkqvom

Swift is great for embedded systems like the @playdate. @rauhulv shares his journey: https://t.co/LjXeyyFr9r

Our proposal to add generic noncopyable types to Swift is up for review! https://t.co/2j1RERdrMH

The New York Times wrote a Haiku to avoid saying Israel massacres Palestinians that they’re deliberately starving in Gaza.

"When Putin did stuff like this in Ukraine we condemned him. When Assad did [it] in Syria, we condemned him. When Israel starves 100s of 1000s of people & shoots people who go to get flour, where is the condemnation from the U.S. government?"

Check out the excellent Structured concurrency session: https://t.co/1Mqd0zig9D

Evan covers everything you need to know about task trees, task local values and powerful new group patterns and APIs. We also celebrate the 1.0 of distributed-tracing!

Today at WWDC we introduced a new static linker. It is a ground-up rewrite that’s up to 5x faster than ld64. The new linker is written with multicore in mind, and it’s the first production ready parallel linker officially supported for iOS development. (1/n)

Friends, I need you to retweet or attend. As a community, we are struggling. We need to build our women in compilers and tools community. We need your help!

And if you care about Swift but not macros, two other sessions dropped today—this year's “What’s new in Swift”: https://t.co/Tgmqpp3Wha

@ktosopl @moricalliope breaking a staging branch doesn’t have the same surprise & delight as breaking main 🙃

Programming language design ala Kafka:
1. The rules are not clearly specified.
2. The compiler does not check the rules.
3. The punishment for breaking the rules is arbitrary.
4. You have to break the rules to get things done.
Example: C

@dan_dee_lyons tho i guess the log may just show it complained about a missing symbol during linking and aborted

[Kavon Farvardin @call1cc]

@dan_dee_lyons “command SwiftCompile failed with non-zero exit code” is the compiler crashing, so if you had that reliably happening it would be valuable to report it.
