@airspeedswift I really love that #Apple continues to push their #Swift effort on #Windows. But they’re are slow. From now we should already have a dev previous for #SwiftUI on Windows… and we are fare from it

@airspeedswift

Hi Paul Hudson,

I recently came across your work on twitter and was very impressed by your expertise in macOS development.

I am currently looking for a skilled Apple Developer who can help notarize macOS apps. This involves signing, notarization, and ensuring compatibility with Apple's requirements. If you are available and interested, I would be happy to compensate you for your work.
I will pay you for the work you have done.

We can chat in Telegram (@ezioaditoredafirenze)

@airspeedswift Well I've filled in the application form... Compiler dev isn't my thing, but windows and it's internals are so lets see.

@airspeedswift windows is my thing! Thanks for sharing, this would be fun ^_^

@airspeedswift Please please make it simpler and easier to set up and use. (I know it’s a new effort)

Videos like this really hurt the great language project:
