@emilazy:matrix.orgemily do those .dylibs even get used on macOS, where the Swift runtime is part of the OS dyld cache? 01:29:44
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeAll the Swift modules, embedded stuff, headers, and shims are in the dev output.01:29:57
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily shouldn't it be the out output, as it's consumed by the compiler rather than things taking the compiler as a build input 🤔 01:30:26
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeThey do some funky stuff to forward to the system. I don’t think we can avoid having them. We need the Span compatibility dylib for back deployment to 14.x and 15.x.01:30:33
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode The stdlib is a separate derivation. It has out and dev outputs. 01:31:03

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeThe embedded stuff is kind of weird. It lets you build “bare metal” Darwin applications.01:31:58
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeWhatever the hell that means.01:32:03
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythey're rewriting XNU in Swift!01:33:13
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeThen they couldn’t borrow code from FreeBSD as easily!01:39:25
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI wouldn’t mind if they rewrote the core UNIX utils in Swift, but then they definitely wouldn’t be able to pick up code changes from FreeBSD. It’s a shame because they’re horrifying at times.02:04:25
