We've been building Hummingbird to be the best Swift server framework we can.
If Hummingbird has been useful to you or your team, sponsoring is one of the most direct ways to help us keep maintaining and improving it.

New blog post, integrating #raylib in a #swiftlang project :)
Bonus point: #wasm build at the end!
I hope you will enjoy it :)

We still have some spots left! Come hang out with @parisinbmore.bsky.social & me on Monday of #KubeCon week ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Two years ago at #WasmIO I talked about (at that time) experimental support for #Wasm in #SwiftLang. Today I'm back on stage with Yuta Saito to present what's new in now official Swift for Wasm! If you're attending, I'm happy to chat in the hallway track ๐

Swift compiler itself, maybe?
Do you have an existing Swift codebase depending on native C/C++ libraries like SDL, OpenGL, OpenAL, zlib etc that you want to run in the browser or a standalone JavaScript runtime? Then this pitch is for you! ๐

#SwiftLang
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
The BridgeJS Playground at https://swiftwasm.org/JavaScriptKit/PlayBridgeJS/
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. ๐งต
Lots of great things happening with Swift: hereโs the latest edition of our news digest: www.swift.org/blog/whats-n...
We're fuelling up for another year of SwiftLeeds, and we need YOU in the cockpit.
Whether you want to talk about SwiftUI, Swift concurrency, server-side Swift, accessibility, or something we haven't even thought of โ we'd love to see your submission.
Submit your talk idea โ swiftleeds.co.uk/cfp
The Swift Performance team isnโt *my* team, but theyโre in my hallway. Or in London if youโd prefer. Theyโre looking for an engineer whoโs not afraid of optimizers. jobs.apple.com/en-us/detail...
Massive amount of updates and improvements to Swift for Wasm this month, check it out on Swift Forums: forums.swift.org/t/swift-for-...

I made a demo from the outcome of me playing around with @elementary.codes. Now with cute lilโ animations ๐

I'll be presenting about our recent work on #WebAssembly support in #SwiftLang with Yuta Saito at Wasm I/O 19-20 March this year in Barcelona. Tickets are still available, see you there!

And 32-bit Android
Android 32-bit has test suite running in nightly CI too. As for 32-bit RPi, with an active community some would appear if there's enough interest. Out of three 32-bit platforms you named, only RPi doesn't have official CI, but I don't think we can claim that 32-bit targets are unsupported by Swift?
Wasm is an officially supported 32-bit target for Swift. For every toolchain PR, CI jobs run a huge suite of tests for this platform. `main` and 6.3 snapshots now suport `swift test` with Wasm Swift SDK allowing packages to ensure 32-bit compat as well. Windows toolchain has active maintainers too.
Can you elaborate on "Swift isn't very well supported in 32-bit environments" claim?
This is 32-bit Wasm, 64-bit Wasm is rarely used, WASI isn't even available for Wasm64. Additionally, 64-bit memory for Wasm has an inherent performance overhead, as described here spidermonkey.dev/blog/2025/01...
Swift for #Wasm January 2026 Updates is out, lots of great stuff done by the community this month! forums.swift.org/t/swift-for-...
Swift in the Browser with ElementaryUI
Iโll be speaking at the Swift @ FOSDEM 2026 event - come say hi ๐
WasmKit 0.2.0 is out! I've been working on a few additions for end users in this release:
* New `wat2wasm` CLI for assembling WebAssembly text format;
* WASI modules debugging support when connecting with latest LLDB;
* Package-wide adoption of Swift 6 language mode.
