This week we had the opportunity to talk to Holly Borla who manages the Swift Compiler Team at Apple. We chat about upcoming Swift 6 changes and why they're a big deal, but also why you shouldn’t worry too much. Of course, all three of us pick packages, too!Interview with HollySE-0414: Region isolation SE-0431: Dynamically isolated function typesPackagesGRDB by Gwendal RouéGwendal's forum thread about adding Sendable annotationsPack by Matt CoxGeoURI by Jeff JohnstonConcurrencyRecipes by Matt Massicottegenerative-ai-swift by GoogleFit by Oleh Korchytskyi
Join us for another episode as Dave and Sven talk open-source security vulnerabilities and how all package ecosystems are at risk, why it won't be possible to give meaningful "package size" stats on package pages, yet more talk of interfacing with Swift from other languages, and a one-question quiz!

This week Dave and Sven break their streak of skipping recording to find Swift in exciting new places, like on ARM Windows and the Playdate, and learn new tricks like interoperating with C#. And as usual, there are package recommendations, with a good sprinkling of descents into various rabbit holes.

It's 2024, and Dave and Sven are back to talk plans for the Swift Package Index development over the coming year. They also talk about a light-hearted but also accidentally disastrous recent event in the npm package ecosystem, plans around how the Swift Package Index will approach Swift 6 support, and of course more package recommendations!

Join Dave and Sven as they talk about the tricky business of recommending, endorsing, or showcasing packages before diving into a review of dependencies in other package ecosystems, and how the Swift package ecosystem compares.
