Memory-safe. 13% faster on average. ⚡️ The TrueType hinting interpreter in macOS and iOS has been rewritten in Swift, replacing the original C implementation. Pixel-perfect accuracy was validated across 27 million glyphs. And the results: https://www.swift.org/blog/migrating-truetype-hinting-to-swift/
@swiftlang thanks for such a nice Saturday morning read! I liked the SAFETY comments hints practice, seems to fit quite well for llm-based code reviews, and I was curious about all the struct/copyable and other hints to optimize unnecessary costs around the code and its all covered in the post ^^
@swiftlang not even one of the languages I have interest in learning, but it's cool to see a real world project that was so resoundingly successful. How is it on various other architectures?
