latest 10 features in swift

Here are some of the latest features in Swift as presented at WWDC:

1. Swift 6 Language Mode: Introduces data race safety guarantees, expanding Swift's safety to concurrent programs. (What’s new in Swift)

2. Non-Copyable Types: All Swift types are copyable by default, but Swift 6 introduces non-copyable types to improve performance and safety. (What’s new in Swift)

3. Embedded Swift: A new language subset that can run on highly constrained systems. (What’s new in Swift)

4. C++ Interoperability: Enhancements to interoperability with C++ to improve cross-language development. (What’s new in Swift)

5. Typed Throws: A new feature that allows functions to specify the types of errors they can throw, improving error handling. (What’s new in Swift)

6. Low-Level Synchronization Primitives: New primitives for better control over concurrency and synchronization. (What’s new in Swift)

7. Swift Assist: A new tool to help with coding tasks, answering questions, and experimenting with new APIs. (Platforms State of the Union)

8. Swift Data: A lightweight API for modeling and persisting app information, integrated naturally with Swift. (Platforms State of the Union)

9. Macros: Introduced to reduce repetitive boilerplate code and enable more expressive APIs. (What’s new in Swift)

10. Concurrency Model Refinements: Continued improvements to the concurrency model, including async/await and actors. (What’s new in Swift)
