Swift already has *awesome* interop with C and even C++ but… have you heard about the new Java interoperability using the latest foreign memory #java APIs!?

As usual, pushing boundaries and making your user experience great whilst at it :-) #swiftlang

Seeing

let jvm = try JavaVirtualMachine. shared()

Blows my mind a little bit, even if it makes sense. Very cool stuff! #wwdc25

I use this a lot

Swift 6.1 Released Swift 6.1 is now available!

Some goodies in here. Really loving the idea of “traits” and seeing that approach in spm, Swift Testing, & SwiftUI Previews

I knew about mutating and inout but the borrowing and especially consuming keywords are very neat.

The interplay between deinit, consuming functions and discard seems pretty gnarly…

Good read!

Even better is you can create a #URL() macro which gives you compile-time safety as to whether it’s valid.

👋 from the Swift team, now on Bluesky!

Looks like a good learning budget purchase from Trade Me 🤭

Swift on Android Working Group We've now updated the official compiler README to link to the new Android CI provided by @Marc_Prud_hommeaux at Skip. Thanks to @drodriguez and his employer for donating the prior community Android CI server for so many years. The good news is that thanks to all the work @drodriguez, @compnerd, and to a lesser extent myself put into fixing those tests over the years, there are only a couple dozen failing now out of almost 15k compiler validation tests run on the community Android CI, even after ...

Swift on Android Working Group is being formed!

Swift.org - The Next Chapter in Swift Build Technologies Swift continues to grow in popularity as a cross-platform language supporting a wide variety of use cases, with support on a variety of embedded devices, form factors that encompass wearables to server, and a wide variety of operating systems. As Swift expands, there’s value in investing in matching cross-platform build tools that provide a powerful, consistent, and flexible experience across the ecosystem.

Today Apple opens the build engine from Xcode. It’s an open source library designed to create build systems.

I’m hoping for April alongside the .4 updates 🤞or a beta even sooner

This is really neat, even if the syntax feels a bit unnatural

AWS ECS, Digital Ocean, Terraform and/or Docker Compose.

Very excited to see where this goes! 👀

⚙️ #Swift compiler warnings are getting way more flexible!

New granular controls let you choose which warnings become errors. Perfect for large codebases and gradual upgrades.
