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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Actually though. We had one device that was over 10 years older without any MDM etc. and it outperformed a new laptop building the same product because of the corporate anti virus crap.
