10 Years of Swift: A decade in review
summary
Swift evolves through 22 releases in ten years, with Swift 5 holding half that time and Swift 6 introducing complete concurrency checking that Xcode leaves disabled by default; concurrency lands from 5.5 onward and surfaces errors like “non‑sendable type ... cannot cross actor boundary.” Hacking with Swift supplies ~2,000 free articles, 30+ hours of video, a 100‑day course, and tools such as Unwrap 250k downloads, plus ~$250k raised for charity — concrete output, adoption numbers, and real breaking changes.
