most exciting feature of Swift 6.1
Swift allows including trailing commas in collection literals to make it easy to append, remove, reorder, or comment out the last element as any other element. Swift 6.1 extends trailing comma support to tuples, parameter and argument lists, generic parameter lists, closure capture lists, and string interpolations.

A full imitation of a SwiftUI view on a Vapor server, fully Codable and ready to be sent via JSON.
Code showing a bunch of Swift typealiases assigning codable corollaries of SwiftUI views to their corresponding SwiftUI namespace. Text = TextCodable, Image = ImageCodable, and so on and so forth. Below is a declaration of a view that perfectly resembles a SwiftUI declaration.

This iOS app displays CodableUI from a Vapor server. Then it listens for actions from the CodableViews. If it gets an action with a path, it displays a new screen that loads that path and displays the returned CodableView.

Can you use CodableUI to display entire screens in an iOS app from, say, a Vapor server? Yup!
A screenshot of an iOS Simulator in the foreground and Xcode in the background. The simulator is displaying a list of breweries and Xcode is displaying a Vapor route for a list of breweries and a debug console printing requests as they are requested.

Fun weekend project. One day I woke up and thought "wait, SwiftUI views are just structs, right? Can it be Codable? Could you create a native SwiftUI view with JSON?"

The answer is yes.

Getting even more cursed …
A screenshot from Xcode showing a JSON string that defines a SwiftUI body. A preview of the resulting SwiftUI body rendered from JSON.

Doing something extremely cursed
A block of code declaring a JSON string and a Swift UI preview to render that JSON as SwiftUI views. A SwiftUI preview showing the result of rendering a SwiftUI view using JSON.

Recently played around with a glass-like UI prototype and I can’t tell you how bad it looks on a solid color background. visionOS was made to exist in an environment and I don’t know how you do that on iOS without each app having its own Wallpapers
