Amazing how time flies! Congratulations to the Swift team for an incredible decade of open source! 🎉
🎉 10 years of open source Swift! A decade ago today, we opened Swift to the world with a simple blog post: https://t.co/MF8ni9SE0Q What's grown since—thanks to an incredible community of contributors—has been extraordinary. Here's to the next ten years. 🧡

The Linux kernel authorities are currently discussing whether to enable support for Microsoft C (MSVC) language extensions. Sounds like heresy? It turns out, this is about the growing importance of the Clang compiler. The patches under review do not aim to compile Linux with

Michael shares a great recap of the PyTorch conference and LLVM Developer meeting. He connects the two cultures and provides perspective on how both communities are touching similar problems from different directions. 👇
Attending PyTorch and LLVM back-to-back showed us something interesting: Across the AI stack, engineers are tackling the same challenges, just from different perspectives. Our takeaways from both conferences 👇 https://t.co/OqRp6AqLs7

Wonderful talking with Gergely about building large scale systems, and how my work at 🍎 building LLVM/Swift for CPUs connect to my journey to unify AI compute with MLIR + Mojo🔥. Clarification: Apple's approach is nearly unique, being willing to take very hard swings at very
Chris Lattner (@clattner_llvm) is one of the most influential engineers of the past two decades. He created LLVM, Swift, contributed to TensorFlow, and created the Mojo programming language. What was the story about creating Swift - and why did he face resistance inside Apple

Btw we recorded this weeks ago, before @karpathy’s recent dwarkesh talk. Despite that, it seems like we are on very similar pages. Perhaps due to some parallel learnings due to our somewhat parallel paths.

I am learning that I am an unusual CEO in many ways. Some know that I still code on nights and weekends ( https://t.co/7QMdZItVE1) despite a busy “day job”. As part of that, I care deeply about sw development as a profession, and what “AI anxiety” is doing to many early and

GitHub is where lattner builds software.
I spoke with @clattner_llvm about AI and software craftsmanship. "The question is, when things settle out, where do you as a programmer stand? Have you lost years of your own development because you’ve been spending it the wrong way?” A must read: https://t.co/AClwM7H6OB

The best way to predict the future… is to build it with an amazing community of like minded innovators - who are dissatisfied with the status quo.
A powerful idea from @stephen_wolfram: The physics you observe depends on how you are constructed as an observer.
