Any plan for swift interop support instead of objective C?

@russhwolf thanks for sharing that

A vague sense of hope can be found in the “KMP is now stable” blogpost from the other day, where it’s mentioned as a future update: https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2023/11/kotlin-multiplatform-stable/#explore-the-future-of-kotlin-multiplatform

I think the Kotlin team is busy with K2. Once K2 is delivered, other major enhancements will be unlocked

Swift also just recently stabilized the ABI enough for interop to work. Hence why C++ is the only language (right now) with pure-Swift interop (some claim Swift interop, but if you look closely, they require objc annotation), and even the C++ version is experimental.

Swift’s stable ABI was in 2019/iOS 12.2 which seems quite a while ago? Though I don’t know too much how interoperability would work so maybe that’s recent to the amount of work required.

Looking at their docs again, it looks like I meant the section labeled 'Module stability (and ABI stability)', not ABI stability. Swift 5 brought ABI stability that allowed to switch standard libraries. Stability across Swift compilers (what you'd want to have to enable interop) is still in progress. https://www.swift.org/blog/abi-stability-and-more/

Just seen this.
