🆕 The Swift extension is now live on the Open VSX Registry, enabling first-class Swift support in Cursor, VSCodium, AWS Kiro, and Google Antigravity.
That means code completion, refactoring, debugging, testing, and DocC support, wherever you code.🧑💻https://swift.org/blog/expanding-swift-ide-support/

VSCode disassembling generated WebAssembly code from a Swift breakpoint.
Great language support means nothing without great tooling. Watch Jonas Devlieghere show how LLDB brings first-class debugging to Swift on WebAssembly. fosdem.org/2026/schedul... #Wasm #FOSDEM
Watch Heated Rivalry instead

The @swift.org team is demonstrating a level of consistency that makes me believe they really want to see the Swift programming language thrive outside of the Apple ecosystem.
Slava presented improvements in type checking performance, a big effort of the whole team focusing on improving type checking times. #swift pre-#fosdem event
😩 no more karaoke for you
I look forward to not having to shovel snow for a week 😊❄️
Made it to Brussels for #Fosdem🎉🍟🍻
AFCON is unrivalled entertainment 😅

One of the greatest goals of the year (the "icicle kick") wasn't enough for Rodriguez. He scores again in extra time, chipping the keeper.
What a player.

What a final!
Excited by the progress the team is making. A modern build system for SwiftPM!
Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.
Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.
If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.
why did the chicken cross the road?
A whiteboard diagram promoting Swift on the server by 0xTim. It highlights Swift's advantages like data race safety and interoperability with C++ and Java, along with performance benefits and cost savings on AWS. The diagram also notes Swift's adoption by companies like Apple and Song Shift, and its ecosystem including Span and Swift OTel.
Swift on the Server - we ARE there now with @0xtim.bsky.social! 💾
I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.
Fantastic talks, exquisite location, and approachable concurrency!!! @serversideswift.info was a total blast!
It's been an incredible year for the conference. We had attendees from 6(!) continents come together for an amazing 3 days of workshops, talks and meeting each other face to face. Thank you to all the volunteers and speakers, it's been truly special
If a team that lived in C and Go can build production container infrastructure in Swift, the language is ready for serious server-side systems work. - Eric Ernst, Apple #swiftlang #serversideSwift2025

Fast, secure containers FTW!
