At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced Swift 6, which brings several new features and improvements to the Swift programming language. One of the key highlights of Swift 6 is the introduction of a new language mode that provides data race safety guarantees, helping developers write correct concurrent programs. This new language mode is opt-in, allowing developers to enable it when they are ready to tackle data races in their code.
Swift 6 also includes improvements to concurrency, generics, and introduces a new embedded Swift subset for targeting highly constrained environments like operating system kernels and microcontrollers. Additionally, a new testing framework called Swift Testing was introduced, which offers expressive APIs to simplify writing tests.
For more detailed information on Swift 6, you can refer to the following sessions from WWDC 2024:
- Platforms State of the Union (27:44) - This session provides an overview of Swift 6 and its new features, including data race safety.
- What’s new in Swift (26:07) - This session covers the new language mode and data race safety in Swift 6, along with other language updates.
- Migrate your app to Swift 6 (03:20) - This session provides practical guidance on enabling the Swift 6 language mode and migrating your app to take advantage of the new features.
These sessions will give you a comprehensive understanding of the advancements in Swift 6 and how to adopt them in your projects.
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.
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.
