Why would being "swift first" affect anything? Why do you assume Xcode isn't already full of Swift code?

Speaking of bubbles...

If you're experiencing crackling under high system load, try connecting external speakers or headphones. It's weird, but it seems to mitigate or even eliminate the issue.

That's one of the changes I like. Instead of getting a huge volume indicator in the center of a video you're watching, it's a small slider that's off to the corner where I'd prefer it to remain.

I can't believe this is the reality we actually live in. It's like a wannabe monarchy.

Apple certainly appears to be going all in on Swift. Even Foundation is written in it now. The use of Objective-C could have any number of explanations, from compatibility with legacy frameworks/applications to flaws in methodology. Th

I'm not sure why you keep bringing up CALayers. That is not where the performance bottleneck lies in SwiftUI.
