Announcing Swift 6.3.1, a maintenance release with reliability improvements. More details in the forum post here: https://forums.swift.org/t/announcing-swift-6-3-1/86080

☕️ New update to the Swift Java interop tooling, with plentiful improvements for use in both server and Android scenarios: https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-java/releases/tag/0.2.0 #java

🆕 The Swift extension is now live on the Open VSX Registry, enabling first-class Swift support in Cursor, VSCodium, AWS Kiro, and Google Antigravity.

That means code completion, refactoring, debugging, testing, and DocC support, wherever you code.🧑‍💻 https://swift.org/blog/expanding-swift-ide-support/

Thanks to Swift community member Saleem, we have a new Swift XML parser! 🌿

Xylem is pure Swift, zero dependencies, covering SAX, DOM, and XPath 1.0. This is the kind of infrastructure work that helps Swift thrive everywhere! 🎉 https://forums.swift.org/t/xylem-a-pure-swift-xml-parser/85754

🏗️ What if your whole stack was built with Swift? @telemetrydeck made it a reality, building an internet-scale, privacy-first analytics backend from the ground up. Read their story: https://www.swift.org/blog/building-privacy-first-analytics-with-swift/

Great language support means nothing without great tooling. Watch @jdevlieghere show how LLDB brings first-class debugging to Swift on WebAssembly. https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/87ZLQV-wasm-debugging-lldb/ #Wasm #fosdem

BridgeJS landed as an MVP just two weeks ago, and is evolving fast.

Check it out with the interactive playground — paste Swift, and see the generated results live: https://swiftwasm.org/JavaScriptKit/PlayBridgeJS/

Docs here: https://swiftpackageindex.com/swiftwasm/javascriptkit/main/documentation/javascriptkit

Bridging options:
1. Annotate a Swift class or type with @​JS to create bindings for JS/TS code
2. Import an existing JavaScript class or function with @​JSClass or @​JSFunction on the Swift side
3. Or create a bridge-js.d.ts file to export TypeScript APIs to Swift

Left side: Swift types with @​JS annotation.
Right side: fully generated TypeScript interfaces and exports.

You write @​JS. BridgeJS writes everything else.

Swift/JS interop used to mean "JSObject", "JSValue", and runtime surprises.

BridgeJS changes that: annotate your Swift, get typed glue code in both directions. Compile-time safe. Zero manual boilerplate. 🧵
