The foundation has already been rewritten in Swift. According to the session "What’s new in Swift," the Swift implementation of Foundation first shipped in iOS and macOS last fall. This new implementation is more consistent, has higher quality, and better performance. Even Objective-C applications benefit from these improvements. Additionally, Swift Foundation is open source, inviting community contributions and an open evolution process for adding new APIs.
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.
