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 booting inside the QEMU emulator. The write-up shows Swift, usually tied to app development, can sit at the lowest level of a system with no standard library underneath. It is drawing attention from low-level programming enthusiasts debating Swift's suitability for systems work.
Why now: It challenges the assumption that Swift is unsuitable for bare-metal and systems programming.
