Great to see new Swift FormatStyle tovbe so light seight. Little bit scary how costly the builder init pattern may be, but I guess not unreasonable still. However, with long lists, caching its creation might be nice.
Christian TietzeTIL that Swift Testing, when an expectation fails, will print the comment above the expectation if you don't provide a custom message
Swift testing scoping traits look like a great addition https://mjtsai.com/blog/2025/04/01/swift-testing-test-scoping-traits/
Same for me. Unfortunately the height of blurred content above the tabbar or bottom accessory view is too great

Nick LockwoodThis was an interesting read: https://danielchasehooper.com/posts/why-swift-is-slow/
Coupled with the generally terrible compile times in Xcode, this can make Swift dev a miserable experience sometimes - especially when using SwiftUI, which exacerbates the problem with its heavy reliance on inference and overloading
I think the Swift team maybe underestimates how big of a problem this is? From this thread it seems like it's been written off as unsolvable rather than being an area of active effort?

James DempseyWell, you can tell Apple bought Pixelmator Pro and Photomator. No more excellent release notes.

How Swift's server support powers Things Cloud
You might be familiar with Things, a delightful personal task manager that has won two Apple Design Awards and is available across Apple devices including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. At Cultured Code, the team behind Things, we care about a great user experience across every aspect of the product. This extends to our server back end, and after a rewrite our Things Cloud service has transitioned entirely to Swift. Over the past year in production, Swift has consistently proven to be reliable, performant, and remarkably well-suited for our server-side need.
