[Swift Language @SwiftLang]

A new version of Foundation launched today as an open source project, written in Swift. This project provides a single, cross-platform implementation and shows significant performance improvements. https://t.co/ItMd423gvz

[Tony Parker @illian]

@_______MVE @SwiftLang I certainly hope so!

[Tony Parker @illian]

@CoreSerena @SwiftLang @mhuletdev Yes. Since ICU ships as part of the OS, it doesn’t have the same impact on binary size as inclusion on other platforms.

[Tony Parker @illian]

@CoreSerena @SwiftLang @mhuletdev ICU is the main one. We will move that dependency to the Internationalization module for non-Darwin platforms, to provide the option of importing a module (Essentials) with very few dependencies when necessary.

[Tony Parker @illian]

@CoreSerena @SwiftLang @mhuletdev This Swift implementation will be used for all platforms. Public API in the package will also be available in the SDK.

Privileged to be at @SwiftServerConf with the amazing Swift community, to announce what’s coming next for the Foundation project. Details: https://t.co/jkOZZx7SIL and https://t.co/V66gM4ouU5

@jamesdempsey In the meantime, the new `Duration` type in Swift has formatting support: https://t.co/s08p0AjprX

[Tony Parker @illian]

@jamesdempsey Sorry James, just a miscommunication in handling the bug. I’ll make sure it gets to the right place.

@arroz @tonyarnold @AirspeedSwift SwiftUI, AppKit, and UIKit still reexport CoreGraphics, so any Swift source files out there that extend CG types and include one of those doesn't need to change.

[Tony Parker @illian]

@arroz @tonyarnold @AirspeedSwift Foundation's swift overlay has been merged into Foundation itself. To enable this, we moved some CG types to CoreFoundation in a binary compatible way. It does mean, however, that Foundation no longer re-exports CG. For most CG functions you'll need to import it in your sources.

@tonyarnold @AirspeedSwift Thanks @tonyarnold, we're tracking this bug.

@muradjamal1981 Thanks for checking this out! At this time support for pluralization is enabled for English and Spanish. We know we have some work left to enable it for every language our OSes support.

[Tony Parker @illian]

We’re really excited to share some amazing new features with you! Join us for “What’s new in Foundation” tomorrow to learn more about struct AttributedString (with Markdown), totally new formatting, and the awesome Automatic Grammar Agreement. #WWDC21 https://t.co/vVMEvRlduW

@alpennec Thanks, we’ll look into this one too. 🙂

[Tony Parker @illian]

@alpennec Thanks! We will look into it.

[Tony Parker @illian]

@alpennec There's also .integerLength and .integerAndFractionLength

[Tony Parker @illian]

@alpennec You can use a range with fractionLength or integerLength , like this: number.formatted(.number.precision(.fractionLength(1...3)))

[Tony Parker @illian]

@Gok Thank you!

[Tony Parker @illian]

@jim_luther Hopefully it’s easier now!

And Wednesday, "Meet AsyncSequence" to see how easy it is to write code that works with many values delivered asynchronously - built right into the language. #WWDC21 https://t.co/2t4mtl6U9d
