    > so of Apple's programming languages

    So the whole part of your message about "even the FSF saying that free software should run on proprietary system" works when you want to criticize Hare, but not when looking at Apple proprietary software, right?

    A language is just another piece of software, I don't see why you should apply different rules to a programming language than, e.g. to a serializing system like Protobuf. And I don't think Google actively supports swift-protobuf (https://github.com/apple/swift-protobuf).

    Hare upstream just says "we are not interested in supporting non-free OSes, but we won't prevent you from doing it". It's your choice to not use Hare because of this, but it's their choice to not support macOS.

  • Binary Encoder/Decoder between rust and swift
    1 project | /r/rust | 9 Jun 2023
    https://docs.rs/prost/latest/prost/ crate lets you encode / decode protobuf messages. You can write a message which represents your struct or whatever data type is, set the fields, and then encode it into bytes. Decoding in swift can be done with something like this https://github.com/apple/swift-protobuf ig.
  • Connect-Swift: You’ll want to use Protobuf on iOS
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Jan 2023
    I’ve used Protobuf in Swift and it was pretty straightforward. Apple already provides a tool chain [1] so using a third party is a hard sell.

    > Why should they? That isn't their target audience.

    Because they need it?

    Apple discontinued macOS server, i bet they use Linux in some of their servers

    All their networking related libs are available and tested for Linux [1, 2]

    Let's not forget that they package Swift for Linux, and now also for Windows [3]

    Swift is crossplatform language (you not wanting to understand it doesn't change this fact), it's not a macOS framework

    1 project | /r/Starlink | 3 Aug 2021
    Thanks. I downloaded and installed https://github.com/apple/swift-protobuf. Is that the tool you are talking about? This creates a blank .proto file and generates .pb.swift files but I am stuck on creating the Starlink .proto file. Do you have a StarLink .proto file? I was successful in creating a protoset file but not a .proto file. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
