☕️ New update to the Swift Java interop tooling, with plentiful improvements for use in both server and Android scenarios: github.com/swiftlang/sw... #java

🆕 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/

Thanks to Swift community member Saleem for creating a new Swift XML parser! 🌿

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: swiftwasm.org/JavaScriptKi...

Docs here: swiftpackageindex.com/swiftwasm/ja...

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.

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. 🧵
