## Source excerpt

Welcome to "What's new in Swift," a curated digest of releases, videos, and discussions in the Swift project and community. To start, we're focusing on some of the many local meetup groups sharing Swift content: Around the world, local meetup groups and conferences bring Swift developers together, and some even predate Swift itself! Many have YouTube channels where they share videos from their events, so you can tune in remotely. Let's highlight a few. In May the SF Swift meetup hosted a talk by Dan Federman, Agentify Your Swift Repo, which covers building an agent for CI and review feedback. Swift Barcelona has a dedicated YouTube presence, while some groups, like the new MLX India meetup, post event playlists, including a recent talk about using MLX Swift in iOS apps that's worth checking out. And there's even a community-organized Swift Community Meetups YouTube channel, which hosts meetups online and is home to a series of cross-platform Swift talks. These groups support developers in a few ways worth calling out: Local community: they're building local connections among Swift developers and organizations. Room for experimentation: by being less formal and sometimes featuring works in progress, meetups create space to share ideas, get feedback, and learn from one another. I encourage more folks to get involved in their local Swift meetup. And if your group starts publishing content and videos, please share on the Swift Forums in the Community Showcase category. -- Dave Lester Now on to other news about Swift: Videos to watch Interested in using Swift for backend server development? Mohammad Azam posted a livestream recording of Introduction to Hummingbird, a walkthrough of the web framework covering installation and development basics. Meet the Temporal Swift SDK, from Replay 2026, introduces the SDK that brings Temporal's durable workflows (long-running processes that survive crashes, retries, and restarts without losing state) to Swift.
