- join energetic discussions on your collaborators’ work and ideas, both within the team and through the open source Swift project
- improve compile-time performance
- enhance the Swift developer experience through diagnostics and other compiler-driven tools
- collaboratively improve the Swift language
- affect design decisions not only on the Swift programming language and its developer-facing tools, but also general programming patterns, adoption of Swift in new domains, and community building/outreach across the Swift ecosystem
Other
