Developer builds minimal Swift kernel that runs in QEMU
Original: A minimal kernel in Swift, running in QEMU
A developer has written a minimal operating system kernel in Swift and demonstrated it running under the QEMU emulator. The project shows Swift, usually associated with app development on Apple platforms, can be used for bare-metal systems programming, a niche normally dominated by C and Rust.
Why now: It is unusual to see Swift used for low-level kernel development, which sparks curiosity among systems programmers.
