👋 from the Swift team, now on Bluesky!

The episodes I always recommend are the ones about algebraic data types. Proper type modeling is a scarce skill these days. The one about protocol witnesses is also very good.

Point-free libraries have become a standard in many work and personal projects.

Congrats on your 7th anniversary!

Screenshot of a part of our blog post that reads: Point-Free turns 7! 🥳 Wednesday January 29, 2025 It’s hard to believe, but we launched Point-Free 7 years ago today! In that time we have released dozens of open source projects that collectively are cloned hundreds of thousands of times a week, responded to thousands of comments and discussions, and explored a wide breadth of topics. Everything from mathematical topics (algebraic data types, existentials, foundations of equality) to practical, real world topics (SQLite, parsers, architecture, cross-platform Swift), and everything in between.

7 years ago today we launched Point-Free!

What have been some of your favorite episodes, open source libraries, or moments since we launched?

How to use Cursor for iOS development Recently, there’s been much talk and fuss about AI, and whether or not it can improve your development workflow. I wanted to touch base about how AI and its implementation in Cursor have been…

It’s now 2025, and it’s the best time ever to start a new habit, like switching from Xcode to Cursor for iOS development!

wrote a little Xcode script called PHIL:

it lets you write a comment -- "// @phil please implement this" -- then hit Build to have an LLM generate and insert a draft of the code you asked for. all without leaving xcode!

Self-driving cars found to be safer - except at dawn, dusk, or when turning, according to study Self-driving cars are generally safer than cars driven by humans, according to a new study released on Tuesday. However, the cars were found to be more accident-prone in certain scenarios.

"Self-driving cars are safer than those driven by humans, except when it is dusk, dawn, or the vehicle is turning, according to a new study"

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

“Sharing” is a brand new Swift library for sharing state throughout your application and to external systems like user defaults, the file system, and more. We tour the library starting with a comparison to a tool that inspired its design: SwiftUI’s @‍AppStorage.
