Well then the cost of physical has to go up. We can guess what your opinion on that is.

I tried clicking one of those just to see and it didn’t even go to the alleged product but instead a landing page with even more of those ads! Shocking, I know :)

It’s horrible on mobile. Sites like macobserver are bad. Two videos overlapping, popping in and out, shifting content.

They said they made a "small swiftUI" app that leaks memory. From their shared link there is no SwiftUI at all. No clue....

Re:Swift is a more convenient Rust on Sunday February 01, 2026 @10:10AM (#46846702)

The funny thing about the low effort parent comments is the truth - wikipedia lists that there are more release builds of swift of linux than for macOS. Granted they were bug fixes but still.

All of these changes improve the ergonomics of async/await. Fewer hops and a better alignment of when one would expect a hop to occur.

async defer is nice too but it's not in the 6.2 public release AFAICT.

First, op should mention which ones but they won't.

Re:Swift is a more convenient Rust on Saturday January 31, 2026 @11:56PM (#46843733)

Just forget everything you've learned about it previously, use 6.2+, non isolated by default and every upcoming feature turned on. And your intuition will be spot on.

Re:Swift is a more convenient Rust on Saturday January 31, 2026 @11:49PM (#46843708)

I'm also wondering how big their programs are that the compile times are an issue. I'm seeing fantastic build times with Xcode 16 and Xcode 26.2 with swift 6.2 it's even better. SPM is also better with the newer version. Most issues can be solved or exposed by closing the window and reopening or going to the package with issues and pressing cmd+s.

Re:Swift is a more convenient Rust on Saturday January 31, 2026 @11:44PM (#46843680)

Agreed. People use any thread mentioning swift to dunk on Apple for X number of reasons with vague details and regurgitated dogma. I get Xcode has quirks I use it everyday believe me I know but it's not that bad that it's unusable.

Re:Fucking Approachable Swift Concurrency on Tuesday December 30, 2025 @10:50AM (#46434517)

Do people actually believe that there are too many keywords? I’ve never met a dev irl that says this but I see it regurgitated on every post about Swift. Most of the new keywords are for library writers and not iOS devs.

Preventing deadlock wasn’t a goal of concurrency. Like all options - there are trade offs. You can still used gcd.

Hyperbole

Re:Roadmap for Improving the Type Checker on Friday October 31, 2025 @11:30AM (#45773178)

Same here. I rarely run into this problem. I write mostly SwiftUI too. I will admit there are some built in SwiftUI views that are problematic: tables, outline groups.

Most of the time it’s a syntax error or typo.

If amateurs can use game porting and achieve decent results then I think the actual devs can achieve excellent results.

My guess is that Mac users simply don’t buy games for their macs
