How so? I can indeed target every layer of the software stack using Swift, today.
E.g. ClearSurgery[0] is written fully in Swift, including the real-time components running on the Linux boxes.
Oh yes, I have had that! I tried disabling workspace for my brother-in-law through screen sharing and I thought it was a screen sharing issue. I successfully did it on my own computer but I’m glad to learn this was probably on purpose. I’m not crazy!
I’m sorry but reading your comment, you have not understood much about Swift (and GCD).
In particular “"DispatchQueus" (?IIRC?) are a thin wrap of fork, and do nothing but add complications”, in addition to having typo, is as wrong as it can get.
> if you want to build systems on Apple, without investing a lot in setup, you are stuck with Xcode.
If you want to do in Swift the same type of dev you do in go/rust/whatever, Xcode is more than not mandatory, it is generally recommended to use something else, including in the Swift community. Also, you can build native apps in Swift using something else than Xcode (if it is possible to do that in rust for macOS, it is obviously possible with Swift).
> We never got the profiler to produce anything intelligible after days of trying
You mean Instruments? That app is incredibly good, I fail to see how you failed to get anything out of it.
> The very worst part of Swift were the thread control
Already talked about that one, but Swift has async/await now, also.
