New Embedded Programming Language by Apple
Last week at WWDC 2024, Apple unveiled Embedded Swift, a new programming language for resource-limited systems. This variant of Swift is designed for microcontrollers like the ESP32, Raspberry Pi RP2040, and STM32, enabling IoT and low-power device development with Swift's familiar syntax.
Key features include:
Support for value and reference types, closures, optionals, and error handling
Optimization for microcontroller environments
Seamless integration with C and C++ SDKs
Extensive support for various microcontrollers and numerous code examples
Embedded Swift combines Swift's ergonomics, safety, and ease of use, making embedded development accessible to both hobbyists and professionals familiar with Swift.
