swift-evolution
This maintains proposals for changes and user-visible enhancements to the Swift Programming Language.
You can read about the trade-offs in the language proposal [here](https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-evolution/blob/main/propo...).
In particular:
> Even with the introduction of typed throws into Swift, the existing (untyped) throws remains the better default error-handling mechanism for most Swift code. The section "When to use typed throws" describes the circumstances in which typed throws should be used.

Yeah, Unity has terrible GC, even with incremental per-frame collection improvement. It's going to be interesting to look at the difference once they finish migration to CoreCLR.
If you'd like to look at a complex project, you can try Ryujinx: https://www.ryujinx.org. It even has native integration[0] with Apple Hypervisor to run certain games as-is on ARM64 Macs. There's also Metal back-end in the works.
Other than that, any new .NET application runs on MacOS provided they don't use platform-specific libraries (either something that uses Linux dependencies or kernel APIs or Windows ones). My daily drive device is an MBP.
A side-note is that on MacOS .NET does not use regions-based heaps yet and uses older segment-based ones. This has implications in terms of worse memory usage efficiency but nothing world-ending.

Something like this? https://github.com/migueldeicaza/SwiftGodot
> SwiftGodot can be used to either build an extension that can be added to an existing Godot project, where your code is providing services to the game engine, or it can be used as an API with SwiftGodotKit which embeds Godot as an application that is driven directly from Swift.
Miguel de Icaza gave a great talk on Swift + Godot (among other things) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzt36EGKEZo

There's no way it's close to Python. Where are the benchmarks?
https://github.com/sh3244/swift-vs-python
Shows a huge difference, as expected for a typed memory-safe compiled language using LLVM versus an interpreted language with a global interpreter lock.

Do you mean from first-principles, or letting someone else do the work and use a framework? The latter has been around for years, extremely easy: https://vapor.codes

I’ve been meaning to do this for years, and just played around with rust a bit (liked it, but the wrappers around some c++ stuff i wanted to use were half baked). Learning rust, there was this “rustlings” thing [0] that was a set of guided exercises to go alongside the rust book. Fastest I’ve ever picked up a language, thanks to that. Do you or anyone know anything similar for c++?
