Hi!

I was trying to build sample with swift wasm 6.0.3.

Too many different errors and give-up. :)

Hi!

Thanks for your interest in this repo! Unfortunately, my pull request to JavaScriptKit wasn’t accepted, and I stopped development. Embedded Swift turned out to be less suitable for web development than I expected — it’s too limited: no ability to work with strings, no generics, and no even support for variadic parameters. On top of that, SPM isn’t ready for it either. It requires a lot of additional flags everywhere. So, I decided it’s not worth it — at least for now, or maybe ever. I think we need a different version of Swift for the web, something between the Embedded and Full version. Honestly, I’d love to just have the full version of Swift, where the compiler can automatically cut off all redundant parts.

I’m sticking with full Swift and continuing development for it. It compiles into 2.5Mb(compressed) wasm file and it's great!
If you're interested in Swift for the web, you might want to check out my new VS Code extension. It’s designed to provide a smooth development experience on any machine (Mac, Linux, Windows) via a Docker container.
It’s under active development and already available as v1 on the marketplace
Please feel free to share your feedback in its repo

Thanks for swiftly reply. (no pan intended)

Agree with all things you said about embedded and full Swift.

I made my attempt with embedded. Only got to point of compiling :)
