The Wasm support, which started as a community project, allows you to compile Swift code and run it in the browser, as demonstrated by a 3D rendering app using WebGPU and JavaScriptKit. Swift's safety, ease of use, and performance make it an attractive choice throughout the software stack. So Swift is back again on FreeBSD :-) And its matter of choice not replacement :-) -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.infohome | help
