Everyone jumped on it, and Apple of course soft-deprecated it right after it's release and now they don't even bother to make it play well with structured concurrency. So typical... forums.swift.org/t/combine-in...

Yeah, you're right. I'll give it a bit more thought the next time.

And Noora, the CLI design system library that we've developed for @tuist.dev is mentioned there - if you want to build beautiful CLIs in Swift, you know what to use 😎

As much as I'm a fan and advocate of Swift, I think that it's fair to call these things out every now and then.

[Preview] Swift-Syntax Prebuilts for Macros The introduction of macros to Swift has given developers the ability to create more expressive libraries that can be distributed as a Swift package. Macros can greatly improve the developer ergonomics making Swift packages an even more appealing environment in which to work. One issue developers run into when adding dependencies on these packages is that build times all of a sudden get significantly longer. This is especially true when building in release mode and on CI machines with limited CP...

yup, I'm just saying that we might be rather disappointed if the progress of AI over the next 20 years will be comparable to the progress of video games over the past 20 years

I’d argue that video games don’t look that much better 20 years later.

So who’s buying the OpenAIPhone?
