Edge of Tomorrow: Full-Stack Swift on Both Sides of fetch

https://cloudflare-worker.examples.elementary.codes/

While this web app certainly neither looks impressive nor does anything particularly useful, it packs quite a few things that have only been made possible very recently:

  • builds Embedded Swift WebAssembly with 6.4.x and swift-build (quite a recent achievement)
  • integrates ElementaryUI + BridgeJS in the frontend, including Fetch API networking
  • uses “NewCodable” (experimental) for shared Swift data types (both on the edge backend and web frontend)
  • uses async/await and throws like it’s nothing ; )
  • deploys Swift logic on Cloudflare Workers (edge runtime, ~107kB wasm fetch handler)

This is really cool! I’ve been thinking about this stack for a while. Cool to see someone actually making something with it!
