I love the Contrarian Stack. For example, my website is built with Typst and Meson, and I’m making an ActivityPub server in Swift with Vapor (that one isn’t too far along yet).

I like Swift, it makes me wish other languages had its callback/block features and builder syntax.

And extending classes widely modifying the core class is super useful.

I wish it had more features for low level memory optimization, and I haven’t really gotten into the macro situation.

Yeah, I’m a big fan of Swift so far. All in all it’s a really well-designed language and I’m enjoying writing it. I have some complaints but nothing deal-breaking.

Whoa! Howd you make a website from typst? I would love a way to draft my website in typst.
