I wonder whether this'll accelerate the Swift export

Hi,
Swift package manager has already a parameter for generating C/C++ compatible code.
I think it should be observed. 😄
My last tried has been not very conclusive with the C mode (swift 6.0).

just saw this and wanted to share the video I found here, in case it could be useful.
It seems they are working on a better interoperability with java libraries with SwiftJava, iiuc it will soon be possible to instantiate a JVM on the Swift process to use (gradle??) installed java libs

This Java interoperability is more useful for skip than kmp.

[carloxavier]

for logic that was been written for android first, if it has some dependency on a java library for example, it looks this could be useful for reusing that logic in iOS as well

[carloxavier]

but some wrapper will be needed

Did he ever say iOS was supported? Based on his demo it looks like he's spinning up a full jvm as part of the interop which seems like a no-no on iOS (granted apple is allowed to do whatever it wants ofc). The jvm part makes me think it won't matter for kmp

This was specific to Swift development, not Apple (iOS, macOS, etc) development.
