Getting ready for Swift 6 (part 1)

So many of us came from Swift from another language and had to learn what it meant to write Swifty code. In the meantime, Swift has changed over the past decade.

In this workshop we take a step back and look at what Swift has become, where it’s going, and how best to write code in Swift.

We’ll cover the introduction and improvements to async/await, Sendable, and the entire concurrency mechanism.

We’ll look at changes to Generics including Parameter Packs and Variadic Generics.

We’ll look at existential types and the use of some and any, and other improvements to the language.

We’ll briefly look at typed throws and SwiftTesting.
