Swift macros are a powerful feature introduced to enhance the Swift programming language. They act as compiler plugins, taking the syntax tree as input and returning transformed code as output. This allows developers to reduce repetitive boilerplate code and create more expressive APIs.
For a deeper dive into Swift macros, you can watch the session titled "Expand on Swift macros" mentioned in the A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design session.

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.
