Almost missed it - today is @SwiftPackageIndex‘s 5th “first commit date”! To celebrate, we finished adding full support for #SwiftLang 6.1 and have started processing thousands of Swift 6.1 builds

Thanks to @daveverwer for the great collaboration and to all our supporters and sponsors. It wouldn’t be possible without you!

I started a dev blog about working on a native Twitch application using SwiftUI and C++

Reminder that SwiftPM package manifests are Swift code, so you can write loops etc. in them. I use this in some of my packages to enable the same upcoming language features for all targets. Example: https://gist.github.com/ole/c0f4de915a483edb5e6df5f1ad677fb5

This isn’t particularly useful for complex projects where you might want to migrate to Swift 6 mode module-by-module, but for small and simple packages it’s usually easy to stay on the cutting edge of Swift. #SwiftLang

Starting a blog about Swift can be beneficial for learning, sharing knowledge, and networking with other... https://wesleydegroot.nl/blog/Start-your-own-blog #blog #programming #iosdev #swiftlang

A new version is out with more options for the formatters and a new conversion tool with Unix timestamp and ISO8601. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/devmatic-tools/id6744339590 #macos #devtools #swiftlang #swiftui

Introducing a new open-source #Swift package that I've been working on for 8 months! Say hello to #ErrorKit – a set of APIs that simplify #ErrorHandling in Swift 6. Built to be actually helpful, not only for large teams but also for #IndieDev's like myself. And boy have I documented it!

Please check it out & give it a ️ on GitHub: #iOSDev #SwiftLang

Periodic reminder that `Task.detached` is semantically equivalent to `DISPATCH_BLOCK_DETACHED`. e.g. it opts out of automatic priority propagation, task locals, cancellation, etc…

So far 100% of the time I've mentioned this the response has been "what's DISPATCH_BLOCK_DETACHED?", which should give you an idea of how rare uses of `Task.detached` should be.

As the docs say: "Don’t use a detached task if it’s possible to model the operation using structured concurrency features"

Jumped back on the #100daysOfSwiftUI train and completed day 36, a simple expenses app.

Getting back to it after a few months away took some considerable mental effort. Couldn't remember a lot of the specifics of what went before, but there was plenty of residual memory of concepts intact in my brain which made it easier than I expected!

Glad I’d been taking copious notes throughout, and thankful the site's search is super useful! https://www.hackingwithswift.com/100/swiftui/36
