It would be interesting to see any benchmarks / comparisons to understand what are the benefits of having Swift in the browser. Is it faster? Easier to maintain? Or is it based more on the sympathy to the programming language in general?
But great job anyway!

Bit by bit, we are having our beloved browser plugins back, at least for some of us.

sooner or later this was gonna happen. Swift is like Haskell, but nicer and more programmer-friendly.

I wouldn’t fly so close to Apple if I have the choice. Apple could pivot at any moment - “New versions of Swift start at $99,99” /s

New versions of Swift are truly cross-platform. We support iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, HomeOS, VisionOS, WatchOS as well as BodyOS, BrainOS and iThinkOS.
To help developers focus on the future, Swift 9 drops support for deprecated platforms such as Linux, Windows and the web.

I'm actually a Swift developer; it's a great language, but I'm also married to the Apple ecosystem and wouldn't choose it outside of it.

Any reason/motivation why ?

The honest original motivation was mostly "Swift for websites, can I do it?". But underneath, I really want to use one capable and modern language (+ ecosystem and tooling) for all my dev needs. That includes having a native, "in-ecosystem" solution for creating web apps of any kind. Somebody's gotta build it...

I recently wrote a bit about that on the swift.org blog: https://www.swift.org/blog/whats-new-in-swift-august-2026/
