Swift Evolution Monthly: February-April 2024

Swift 6 around the corner, Swift Backtrace APIs for improved Debugging, Improving Concurrency, a new Swift Steering Workgroup, and much more. Summarizing the best of Swift Evolution from February to April 2024.

WWDC24 is just a month away and there are 2 ways I’ll be involved: Firstly, I’ll be in the area for the whole week and join all community events I can! Paul Hudsons great video about his experience in 2023 convinced me that it’s worth it even if you didn’t get the golden ticket for Apple Park. Maybe we’ll meet there? 😊

Secondly, I’m working on a complete overhaul of the WWDC Notes community project that I took over last year. If you don’t know, it’s a place where members of our community share their WWDC session notes for other members in the community. This work is needed because only the notes are public, most of the projects repos (website, etc.) are not. Writing the notes is also annoying, because the website renderer doesn’t support all Markdown features and you have no way to preview them locally. My plan is to fix both issues by migrating the project over to Swift-DocC. This will allow you to preview the rendering right within Xcode!
