How easy is it to learn about Swift on the server and has much changed in the year since Mikaela Caron gave the community a challenge to improve things? Well this year she's back to give us an update!

My talk from #ServerSideSwift is live!!

And I’m announcing a new website I’m still working on called LearnSwift .space to provide more content for the Swift community on using Swift outside of Apple platforms

LearnSwift.space

Swift on Android is going strong, some thanks to the existing Swift Server ecosystem being able to adapt quickly! However, we’ve also got much more brewing for Linux apps! Stay tuned!

2️⃣ Swift Student Challenge returns

Calling all student developers! Submissions open February 2026. Start preparing now with code-along sessions and new tutorials. 🧑‍🎓https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/11/developers-decode-their-journeys-from-app-ideas-to-app-store/

GitHub - awslabs/swift-aws-lambda-runtime: Swift implementation of AWS Lambda Runtime Swift implementation of AWS Lambda Runtime. Contribute to awslabs/swift-aws-lambda-runtime development by creating an account on GitHub.

3️⃣ AWS officially adopts Swift Lambda Runtime

Amazon is now officially hosting the Swift AWS Lambda Runtime. This is a game-changer for building fast, efficient, and scalable serverless applications with Swift: now backed by AWS. github.com/awslabs/swif... #AWS

1️⃣ Swift comes to FreeBSD

Swift is now available in preview for FreeBSD 14.3 and later. We want your feedback, bug reports, and contributions to make Swift great on FreeBSD! 🧑‍💻Read the announcement here: forums.swift.org/t/swift-on-f... #FreeBSD

Indie developers now have more tools in their toolkit for building with Swift across platforms, thanks to Skip. Exciting to see a Swift community member building a business with the open source Swift SDK for Android. skip.tools/blog/skip-fu... #Android

Just had a blast in the #swiftlang #android workgroup! A turn up of 10 new people looking to collaborate on making this happen 💪

This effort is completely open! If you're interested too - join our community!

💪 8 PRs for Swift libraries to support Windows and counting. Let's make this happen!

Once I'm done helping run Swift on Windows, I'll focus on MLX for Linux/Windows!

What's this? A Hummingbird app!! On Windows?!

Almost got it working! #hummingbird #swift #windows

Thanks to those who shared their amazing insights: @joanniso.bsky.social, Bruno Valente Pimentel, Natascha Fadeeva, Matteo Manferdini, Tomasz Lizer, Uladzislau Volchyk, @danielsaidi.bsky.social, @massicotte.org, Pierluigi Cifani and Wes Wickwire

When you are an Android developer, every day is Xmas!

I personally wouldn’t use this for UI yet, but it is going to be great to share more code. Like having Android be a supported platform for amazing libraries you were itching to use every day, like SwiftGodot or SwiftTerm :-)
