What’s new in Swift

A Podkey summary of What’s new in Swift, from WWDC 2026.This week in Swift land, a lot of the updates are the kind you only notice once they save you from something annoying. There are cleaner ways to handle naming collisions, better tools for mixed test suites, more control over compiler warnings and optimization, and a bunch of performance-minded additions that feel very aimed at real-world code instead of flashy demos. And on the lower-level side, Swift keeps pushing into C interop, WebAssembly, and embedded systems without losing sight of developer ergonomics, which is a pretty nice trick.Less boilerplate, fewer naming headachesSharper compiler controlConcurrency, progress, and process APIsTesting without a painful rewriteData structures and ownership toolsInterop, web performance, and tiny binariesThis podcast was created with Podkey.
