02: SourceKit (Compiling by Default) Mar 13, 2017

Show notes

In this episode, we dive into the framework we love to hate to love: SourceKit.

We wrap up with an overview of method dispatch in Swift.

SourceKit on Linux

Swift core team is fixing compiler crashers faster than they're filed!
- Slava Pestov being a driving force behind many of these fixes.
- @practicalswift is basically Swift compiler fuzzing as-a-service ;)
- Undoing all of @practicalswift's hard work
SourceKit home page
Process Isolation
Key contributors to SourceKit:
- Brian Croom and his many SourceKit PRs to help get it linking and compiling on Linux.
- Alex Blewitt and his numerous attempts at getting SourceKit compiling by default on Linux.

In this episode we take a look at the first full year of open source Swift development and the first complete release cycle (for 3.0) that happened completely in the open. We reflect on where we've been and how we got here. We discuss the initial launch, Swift evolution, the "Great Swift 3 Migration", and more!

00: And We're Live! Feb 24, 2017

Show notes

There are tons of podcasts out there about general Apple/iOS/macOS development but nothing specifically about only the Swift programming language.

So, we decided to make a podcast about the Swift language and a commentary on the Swift Weekly Brief. This podcast is a continuation on more details about Swift Weekly and our own thoughts on Swift news.
