There's lots of #Swift content at #FOSDEM this year, starting with @dgregor79 on the main track at 12:00 CET talking about Swift's incremental adoption approach to memory safety.

If you didn't make it to Brussels, you can stream it here:

FOSDEM 2025 - Live Streaming

And later @ktoso will be talking about #Swift / #Java interoperability in the Java room, including how Swift is using the new Project Panama technology for native interop.

The #Swift room at #FOSDEM kicks off at 15:00 CET, which is late enough for enthusiastic West Coast residents to join the stream at 6am PST :)

We have a great line up of talks, you can find the schedule here:

Attached: 1 image At #FOSDEM, @[email protected] notes that this weekend project hasn’t happened yet 😄 His talk about how the curl project works to keep it as secure as they can was very good.

Kicking off our #FOSDEM #Swift devroom, @paris has some exciting news. Apple is open sourcing the Xcode build system, with cross-platform support, as swift-build.
The #Java room at #FOSDEM is probably the most Univerty Lecture Theatre of the rooms, complete with graffiti scratched into the wood of the back rows. Feeling very nostalgic. @ktoso should do some diagrams on the chalkboard showing how structs bridge over from Swift.
@airspeedswift @ktoso Did they fix the audio in the end? I left because there was too much noise 😞
