Love how the demos are using VSCode on Linux & Windows

Mere Christianity - C.S. Lewis

Nifty stuff - though I wonder who these features are for? Since swift is primarily for iOS where you can basically run everything but network requests on the main thread, what’s the point of having these advanced, complex compiler checks for thread safety?

Would love to see more Swift adoption outside Apple ecosystem because it’s truly the best language I’ve worked with; but the busted state of tooling and environment (Xcode, janky at best VSCode support) will need to be improved before it can ever escape iOS/macOS only orbit.

Since the CEO / founders have already "resigned", this feels like GM is moving towards winding down the company or at the very least strongly re-thinking their commitment to backing this long term.

Getting to FSD is probably moving a lot slower than they hoped and it's looking more and more like it will be another decade (or multiple) until a self driving company can turn a dime of profit. GM doesn't strike me as a particularly innovative company so the idea of a decades long moonshot probably isn't very appealing to them.

The dragging / lying to regulators incident was bad but axing the founders / CEO seems like it would have been enough if GM were excited about the company long term.
