Eric BariauxHalf an Apple ago, I was in San Jose for #wwdc 2021.
Mac OS X had just been released but I watched Steve announce Mac OS X Server and WebObjects 5.
My professional career was already moving toward Enterprise Java but I always wanted to keep playing around with NeXT’s legacy.
I’m now coding in Swift an all Apple platforms, embedded devices and servers.
In addition to the great technology, the community is another big reason I want to stay active within this ecosystem.
David NadobaOne more reason to like @Observable: It isn't just a SwiftUI feature. You can use it in AppKit and UIKit views too, so the same observation model works across all three frameworks, the same per property tracking everywhere.

Matt MassicotteDid you catch the WWDC Swift Group Lab session? It was great!
But, there wasn't time for all the questions. So I copied them down and took a shot at answering some.
oh look @swiftconnection has announced some speakers
Swift Connection Conference
Swift Connection, previously FrenchKit - The French Conference dedicated to iOS, Swift and other Apple Technologies. Paris, November 2026. The first French conference entirely dedicated to the community of Swift, iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS developers.
I learned a neat trick from @thisismissem for running GitHub action linux jobs with different Swift versions by using official container releases. It's proven to be both faster and more reliable than any other method I've ever seen so far.
disregard Joe Groffthe Swift Performance team is also hiring another engineer, to work on optimization, code generation, and performance-oriented language features for the Swift compiler: https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/200661730-3401/swift-compiler-backend-engineer-languages-runtimes?team=SFTWR
David Smith"[we] offer a peaceful work environment where you can choose when to socialize and when to close your office door and concentrate"
Now that's something you don't see on a job listing every day!
the Security Tools team at apple is hiring a compiler engineer to help us develop new safety and security features for Clang. if you can make it to Cupertino, and you find things like ptrauth and -fbounds-safety interesting, this might be a good position for you: https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/200642941-0836/compiler-security-engineer-c-c-languages-runtimes
I took a moment to jot down some things I'm going to be paying close attention to during the WWDC announcements. Not a wish list - more like a watch list.
