The discussion centers around the proposal to enhance Swift's capabilities with WebAssembly (WASM) support. While some users express excitement about expanding Swift's reach to environments beyond Apple devices, others are skeptical about the feasibility and practicality of such an initiative. Concerns are raised regarding the current state of Swift tooling, suggesting that it is not robust enough for existing use cases, let alone a new venture into WASM. Comparisons are made with languages like Rust and Go, which have established support for WASM, highlighting the challenges Swift might face in catching up. Additionally, users highlight the need for improved Windows support and mention the potential for JVM integration as further considerations.
