« Back to Glossary IndexDescription 8 May 2024 by Phillip JohnstonSwift is one of the newest languages to enter the embedded space thanks to a new, experimental compilation mode. You can now use Swift to target ARM and RISC-V microcontrollers. This new compilation mode disables certain language features, like runtime reflection and ABI stability to produce standalone, statically linked binaries that can be run on a microcontroller. While this mode requires disabling certain language features, the aim is to not make it a separate Swift dialect, but to rather be a subset that feels very close to the “full” Swift …
