It seems like you're interested in the concept of dynamic type, but the context provided is more focused on Swift performance, value types, and other Swift language features. If you're looking for information on dynamic types in Swift, the context discusses dynamic dispatch, which is related to how Swift handles function calls at runtime.
Dynamic dispatch in Swift is used when a function call cannot be determined at compile time, allowing for polymorphism and abstraction. This is contrasted with static dispatch, which is more efficient and allows for compile-time optimizations like inlining and generic specialization.
If you have a specific question about dynamic types or any other Swift feature, feel free to ask!
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.
A Swift Tour: Explore Swift’s features and design
Learn the essential features and design philosophy of the Swift programming language. We’ll explore how to model data, handle errors, use protocols, write concurrent code, and more while building up a Swift package that has a library, an HTTP server, and a command line client. Whether you’re just beginning your Swift journey or have been with us from the start, this talk will help you get the most out of the language.
Migrate your app to Swift 6
Experience Swift 6 migration in action as we update an existing sample app. Learn how to migrate incrementally, module by module, and how the compiler helps you identify code that’s at risk of data races. Discover different techniques for ensuring clear isolation boundaries and eliminating concurrent access to shared mutable state.
