A daring mission to lift NASA’s sinking Neil Gehrels #Swift Observatory is now one step closer to launch this June: https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/swift/2026/05/08/katalyst-wraps-testing-at-nasa-goddard-for-swift-boost-mission/ and https://www.katalystspace.com/post/katalyst-robotic-spacecraft-passes-testing-milestone - on May 4, Katalyst Space Technologies completed environmental tests of its LINK robotic servicing spacecraft at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland; LINK will meet up with Swift and attempt to raise its orbit.

There sure is a lot of #Swift on Server talk in this Apple SOTU… ✅

Had to add a `repeat…while` to our #Swift code this morning.
So, that's how it's going today.

Mind blowing to me that this thing is running a #Swift web server on my WiFi. Like half of the size is the pin breakout and the USB-C connector! Also: single-sided PCB. (must be multi-layer, but there are no components on the back) 🤯

#Swift Concurrency as a call-out feature makes my inner engineer happy.
(Also, super interesting idea; shared with me by @… )

Today's #Swift lessons:
1. the `switch` version of `consuming func …` on `variable` is `switch consume variable` (`consuming` is a good way to disarm some footguns)
2. The compiler gets REALLY confused when I do optional chaining with an otherwise-consuming call.
I continue to enjoy this language (though I do take issue with no visibility keyword that indicates "private but exte…
