One highlight that I am looking forward to watching the recording of is Matias Piipari: Canonical-distributed Deb and Snap packaging of the Swift toolchain for Linux. Iā€™m curious what level of support there will be.

Lazy dynamic constants for Java. Implemented as dynamic constant pool entries.

Given that a significant part of the startup time of a typical Java application is taken up by class initialization, I wonder if this could be used for good effect when declaring the ubiquitous Logger instance and such.

A more verbose alternative that works without this is:

private static Logger logger() {
  class Statics {
    static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Parent.class);
  }

  return Statics.logger;
}

As the Dycon README points out, this alternative (which is a variant of the initialization-on-demand holder idiom) incurs overhead in the form of an additional class object, so it has its drawbacks. Still, you may prefer it because it does not involve bytecode trickery.

GTK 3 and GTK 4 bindings for Swift. Autogenerated, for the most part, based on GObject Introspection.

Checks cross-references of files and directories in readmes and other documentation. Meant to be used as part of a continuous integration pipeline.

Installs executable Swift packages from their source code repositories.

Converts the output of makefiles into TAP format, which can then be piped into any TAP formatter. There are TAP formatters that produce quite pretty output.
