#LunchBreakFOSS A project which is on the ridiculous side: My #RaspberryPi to Mac cross compilation toolchain for #SwiftLang. Don’t read that the wrong way around. It really produces macOS binaries on a Raspi Linux! 🤓
X-compiling with Darwin as a target actually has quite different challenges than targeting Linux (the linker has to produce Mach-O binaries, the headers have to be available and match up, etc).https://github.com/helje5/swift-arm2mac-x-compile-toolchain

@cocoaphony @krzyzanowskim @mattiem @kyle Which is pretty weird almost to the point of making an "Swift actor" as an abstract concept being useless, isn't it? An actor shouldn't be reentrant?

@mattiem @cocoaphony @krzyzanowskim @kyle No one ever asks that it is a magic solution to synchronization needs, just that it actually acts like an actor (what a beauty).

@mattiem @cocoaphony @krzyzanowskim @kyle BTW: the real explanation for that weird behavior is AFAIK guaranteed forward progress. Not sure it warrants that weirdness though.

@cocoaphony @matt @jjoelson @mattiem @kyle @krzyzanowskim I think they are perfectly proper, they are just not actors or what people expect actors to be.

@cocoaphony @matt @jjoelson @mattiem @kyle @krzyzanowskim I don’t expect actors to be serial queues at all (ie the fifo aspects), an actor to me is sth that reliably isolates shared state. A Swift actor doesn’t do that and this is what it makes hard to reason about.

@uliwitness @Migueldeicaza @cocoaphony @matt @jjoelson @mattiem @kyle @krzyzanowskim Jein. This is separate to the actor concept and internal to it. I.e. the API consumer of an "actor" can't know whether the implementation yields internally.I don't think there is something wrong w/ the concept per se. The reason _why_ it is the way it is, is sound. It just isn't what an "actor" is to me, which I (and apparently others) find confusing. But hey 🤷♀️

#LunchBreakFOSS A pretty early piece of mine: “GTKKit”. GTK+ is/was alongside Qt a UI framework for (primarily) Linux. While Qt is C++ so no reasonable option for me, #GTK on the other side actually came with an #ObjC API. But that was based on the old `Object` class, not the upcoming `NSObject` / Foundation. Since I didn’t really believe in #GNUstep GUI happening, I tried to make a GTK+ API that looks like AppKit. Never went anywhere either 🤓https://github.com/helje5/GTKKit

Would be fun if Apple would announce #SwiftUI for Windows at #WWDC (quite unlikely, but I suppose not entirely out of question).

@lispi314 Yes, what specific cert are you interested in?

@lispi314 I would guess that SQLite in space would require some certification ;-) https://sqlite.org/forum/info/52317f7370785d7f

Small #SwiftUI platform difference:On macOS the Document.init runs in the background (as one might expect?).On iOS (and visionOS) it runs on the main thread (I assume the data's of the FileWrapper is being preloaded in the background? No idea, otherwise it would block all scenes of the app during longer loads?).

Since I want to run everything I build w/ #RealityKit on #visionOS *and* macOS (in part to avoid the simulator and have the fast native version for dev on macOS), I've already turned into some kind of expert on the differences between them.It is very similar, but then not 🙂 I wonder whether RealityKit on macOS/iOS will get a bump at WWDC (and for some things the reverse).

@Migueldeicaza That crap is produced in your country, not in the EU. Take your fights where they belong.
