Articles and podcasts about Swift development, by John Sundell.

How Swift 5.5 enables us to conditionally compile postfix member expressions using compiler directives, and what kinds of situations that this new feature could be useful in.
An overview of the tools and directives that enable us to influence how our Swift code gets compiled, and what sort of situations that each of those tools might be particularly useful in.
JP Simard returns to the show to discuss Swift 5.3’s main new features and improvements, and what those changes might tell us about the current state of Swift and its evolution process.
Let’s take a look at how the Swift 4.2 compiler is able to automatically synthesize conditional conformances to the Equatable and Hashable protocols.
Harlan Haskins and Robert Widmann, who are both regular contributors to the Swift compiler, join John to take a deep dive into the internals of Swift, its type system, the compilation process and how they used LLVM to build their own programming language.
Louis D'hauwe joins John to answer questions about architecture, UI design, compilers, creating a programming language and much more.
