Holly Borla and Joe Heck announce Swift 6.3, bringing the language to Android officially for the first time. This release fundamentally expands where Swift can run, from embedded firmware to mobile apps across ...
TelemetryDeck is processing analytics for 16 million users monthly using Swift on the server. The infrastructure costs and performance gains are making Python and Node developers take notice.
Nick Sloan from Studioworks processed millions in invoices with Swift on the server and saw fewer production bugs than in 20 years of web development. Here's what's happening in the Swift ecosystem this month.
Doug Gregor from the Swift Language Steering Group reveals how to transform clunky C library APIs into elegant Swift code without touching a single line of the original C headers.
Tim Sneath reflects on Swift's explosive growth: from a simple blog post 10 years ago to 70+ repositories with hundreds of weekly contributors. The language now runs everywhere from Pebble watches to AWS Lambda...
The Android workgroup just dropped Swift 6.3 SDK nightly previews for Android, and several production apps with millions of downloads are already proving it works at scale.
Swift is coming to microcontrollers, and the latest 6.3 release is making it production-ready. Embedded Swift now handles everything from memory-mapped I/O to proper debugging on resource-constrained hardware.
Joe Heck and Dave Lester just dropped the first edition of a new monthly Swift digest, and it's packed with signals that Swift is expanding way beyond iOS. Server-side Swift is heating up with performance gains...
Joannis Orlandos just announced something that could reshape mobile development: you can now write Android apps in Swift. After a decade of Swift expanding to cloud, Windows, and browsers, it's finally landing ...
Apple just open-sourced the profiling tool they've used for years to debug Swift services at massive scale. No special privileges, no eBPF, no system dependencies required.
Holly Borla from Apple's Swift Core Team just dropped Swift 6.2, and it's tackling the biggest pain point in modern development: making concurrent programming actually approachable. This isn't just another incr...
Apple's Password Monitoring team just shared something remarkable: they rewrote their entire backend service from Java to Swift and the results are staggering. This isn't a client-side migration story—it's bill...
Swift just made a major statement at FOSDEM 2025, and it's not just about iOS anymore. The language is pushing hard into memory safety, embedded systems, and even Java interoperability.
Swift 6.1 just dropped with some seriously practical upgrades. If you've been wrestling with concurrency boilerplate or data-race safety warnings, this release is for you.
Owen Voorhees from Apple just dropped a bombshell: the build engine that powers millions of App Store apps is now open source. This changes everything for Swift developers working across platforms.
Holly Borla from Apple's Swift Core Team announces Swift 6, bringing data-race safety from opt-in warnings to compiler-enforced guarantees. After a decade of development, Swift now targets embedded systems, ser...
Dave Verwer and Sven A. Schmidt from Swift Package Index reveal that 43% of Swift packages are already data race safe. The Swift 6 migration is happening faster than expected.
Swift just jumped from iOS apps to microcontrollers. The Swift team launched example projects showing how to write firmware for ARM and RISC-V chips using a new experimental compilation mode.
Joakim Hassila from Ordo One built a performance benchmarking tool that major Swift projects like Foundation, SwiftNIO, and SwiftPM are now using. If you're shipping Swift code without performance tests, you're...
Sima Nerush from Apple's SwiftUI team just made working with Swift parameter packs dramatically simpler. What used to require error-throwing workarounds now fits in a clean for-in loop.
