Is Swift actually serious about embedded?

Of course! Tons of examples here: https://github.com/apple/swift-embedded-examples

At WWDC24, we shared a session on embedded Swift, which is available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqxbsADqDI4

More documentation on embedded Swift tooling here: https://github.com/swiftlang/swift/blob/main/docs/EmbeddedSw...

(Disclosure: I work at Apple.)

Swift is unbelievably cool but I wonder about using Swift for an embedded project as opposed to just C or with FreeRTOS for a more capable system. Is interoperability possible - as in FreeRTOS+swift?

If you look at the blinking LED sample, it's pulling in the freertos header:

  #include "freertos/FreeRTOS.h"
So presumably yes?
