I didn’t know about the effort to be able to create GUIs on Windows. It looks like there are basic wrappers for a lot of controls too: https://github.com/compnerd/swift-win32/tree/ed4993f7cbb284a...

Slightly OT: I wish people wouldn’t put such large license headers in source code. I just don’t see the point, and it’s often longer than the actual source!

> For the ones interested in working on core tooling, there is plenty of work to be done to improve the debugger and to improve the Windows support in the Swift Package Manager. We invite you to check out the Swift Bug Tracker for the current issues and to send patches to the GitHub repositories.

Poor Apple, budget cuts have been hit really hard.
