The Road to Swift 6

Swift as a language just keeps on growing. Even with a transparent evolution process, and an official yearly conference covering the changes. Are you still a bit lost on what has changed in the last year? You are not alone. Whether you are a beginner or a code warrior, understanding these additions to the language is not always easy. I bet you'd really like to know if and how they can help you write better code. Let's demystify those complex sounding concepts such as existential types, opaque result types, primary associated types, and more. Then let's explore what we learn applying them in real world projects. You’ll take away an understanding of some new Swift concepts, and the vocabulary to understand future swift evolution proposals. Some prior knowledge of Swift is recommended to get the most out of this talk.
