We debate if Swift evolution is pulling its weight, and if it's possible for Swift to remain "open" without the cost.

A brief overview of the complex topic of memory ownership revisions currently underway.

We cover 3 recent Swift Evolution proposals and the new Swift Compatibility Test Suite.

We go in way over our heads into Swift's String Manifesto.

We unpack the recent SE proposals on serialization & encoding.

There has been a ton of debate on the Swift Evolution mailing lists about access control in Swift. We share our thoughts on the situation.

This week we celebrate the release of Swift 3.1 and the large set of improvements to SwiftPM that happened just under the wire.

Continuing from episode 4's take on Objective-C Bridging, in this episode we look at Objective-C interoperability.

There's been a constant push and pull on ObjC bridging since Swift 1.x, trying to seek a balance but always swaying in the other direction.

The up (and down) sides of striving for source compatibility across Swift versions. Let's rearrange some deck chairs!
