This is going to be an amazing book, stay tuned for more details. 😊

We invite you to try the new logging system in Toucan —available from the main branch. 🏗️

We are seeking feedback and suggestions to help us improve error handling in our generator. ⤵️

Honestly, I never realized that the “if let” syntax is actually pattern matching behind the scenes...

...until @kittibodecs showed me this snippet. ⤵️

For me it’s concurrency; more precisely the actor system + sendable stuff & isolation. 🔀

That’s just way too complex at first sight. 😅

What are the pros and cons of learning from a programming book compared to using LLMs in 2025? 🤔📖🤖🧠

Very excited to see the first cut of github.com/valkey-io/va..., which supports really lovely structured concurrency integration for accessing the client, pipelining commands, mixing that with transactions, and more! #swiftlang #valkey

Now that we have LLMs I just realized that I don't even remember what was the last time i visited stackoverflow.com 🤔

Swift 26 syntax will be just like this. 😅 #justkidding

Swift and C++ interoperability in practice Swift’s new C++ interoperability is a game-changer, letting you tap into mature C++ libraries from Swift’s safe, expressive syntax. In this post, I’ll guide you through the language-pair preview intro...

Swift and C++ interoperability in practice

The article explains how to use Swift's C++ interoperability (introduced in Swift 5.9) to call C++ code from Swift.

I will definitely share my experience. 😉

The good news: the results are very promising. The overall LLM responses on the specific topic improved a lot, even with a very small dataset. I am super hyped to build an end-to-end solution using SwiftLang. 🤩

The hard parts: Using Python in general — too many things can go wrong, from tools and versions to hardware compatibility issues. Splitting the original PDF file took much longer than expected. And of course, the lack of computing power. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here are some interesting details: it took me just 2 hours to run the fine-tuning and training script on a MacBook Air M4. I used MPS to run everything on the GPU.

Weekend project: fine-tuned a Llama 3.2-1B model using a custom dataset, and it works extremely well. 🏗️

Next up: I plan to create an end-to-end example using some Swift and C++ libraries. Anyone interested in this? 🤔
