⚠️ Compiler Error

This week's theme: Swift on Other Platforms

  1. DroidUI builds on earlier efforts to get Swift compiling for Android by adding interconnects to existing Java-based libraries so an entire app could be built.
  2. project1 is an attempt at implementing an x86 kernel completely in Swift that can run bare metal on Intel Macs and PCs.
  3. swift-embedded is a toolchain to compile Swift so it can run on a microcontroller directly with no host operating system.
  4. SwiftWasm is a toolchain allowing swift code to be compiled to WebAssembly, with full bridging to the DOM.
