Swift is a general-purpose programming language that's fast, modern, safe, and a joy to write. Designed for all, developed in the open.

🏗️ What if your whole stack was built with Swift? @telemetrydeck made it a reality, building an internet-scale, privacy-first analytics backend from the ground up. Read their story: https://www.swift.org/blog/building-privacy-first-analytics-with-swift/
Great language support means nothing without great tooling. Watch @jdevlieghere show how LLDB brings first-class debugging to Swift on WebAssembly. https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/87ZLQV-wasm-debugging-lldb/ #Wasm #fosdem

BridgeJS landed as an MVP just two weeks ago, and is evolving fast.

Check it out with the interactive playground — paste Swift, and see the generated results live: https://swiftwasm.org/JavaScriptKit/PlayBridgeJS/

BridgeJS Playground

Bridging options:
1. Annotate a Swift class or type with @​JS to create bindings for JS/TS code
2. Import an existing JavaScript class or function with @​JSClass or @​JSFunction on the Swift side
3. Or create a bridge-js.d.ts file to export TypeScript APIs to Swift

Left side: Swift types with @​JS annotation.
Right side: fully generated TypeScript interfaces and exports.

You write @​JS. BridgeJS writes everything else.

Swift/JS interop used to mean "JSObject", "JSValue", and runtime surprises.

BridgeJS changes that: annotate your Swift, get typed glue code in both directions. Compile-time safe. Zero manual boilerplate. 🧵

Introducing GraphQL Vapor & Hummingbird Packages

The GraphQLSwift organization is excited to publicly release graphql-vapor and graphql-hummingbird, which simplify exposing GraphQL APIs through the Vapor and Hummingbird server frameworks. Correctly exposing a GraphQL schema through HTTP is not trivial; you must consider specialized encodings, match errors to response status codes, and integrate specialized subscription protocols. The new graphql-hummingbirdand graphql-vapor packages handle all of these details. Integration is as easy as calli...
