What’s new in Swift
Join us for an update on Swift. We’ll briefly go through a history of Swift over the past decade, and show you how the community has grown through workgroups, expanded the package ecosystem, and increased platform support. We’ll introduce you to a new language mode that achieves data-race safety by default, and a language subset that lets you run Swift on highly constrained systems. We’ll also explore some language updates including noncopyable types, typed throws, and improved C++ interoperability.
Explore the Swift on Server ecosystem
Swift is a great language for writing your server applications, and powers critical services across Apple’s cloud products. We’ll explore tooling, delve into the Swift server package ecosystem, and demonstrate how to interact with databases and add observability to applications.
