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"

It was a pleasure to join #tryswift this year again :-) All videos are already published (wow!). Check check out my session about #java interop, my colleague Si's on OpenAPI, or any of the other great talks over here: https://www.youtube.com/@trySwiftConference/videos #swiftlang

For macOS logging I'm trying to use the recommended bundle ID as the OSLog subsystem, so I use the following code snippet. But it seems like I might as well hardcode the subsystem since bundleIdentifier might be nil. Is there a better way to get the bundle ID (or PRODUCT_NAME) in code?

extension Logger {
static let subsystem = Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier ?? "org.foo.MyApp"
}

Forgot to mention this the other day, but the @abi proposal is in review! I think the approximately ten people who will use this feature will be very happy with it. #SwiftLang https://forums.swift.org/t/se-0476-controlling-the-abi-of-a-function-initializer-property-or-subscript/79233

For a language that calls itself "Swift" error
"Cannot assign value of type 'Int32' to type 'Int'"

because Int is 64-bit does not sound swift at all. Requiring to explicitly cast Float to Double could be somewhat justified, but with for widening integer? Why?
