Swift Tools for Software Crafting 2024
summary
Survey of concrete tooling and gaps for Swift crafting: file‑level dependency graphs remain missing so developers cannot visualize compile or reuse pain like with OBCdep for Objective C, hot UI reload works via Injection3 hot reload as a preview workaround, test runners can rerun on change and compute minimal suites (JetBrains InfiniteTest concept and xcode selective testing for modules), Swift Testing is open source with annotations and parameterized macros, VS Code + SourceKit LSP adds refactor actions like De Morgan and JSON→Codable, CI advice favors trunk commits and local fast Macs.
