We were catching up with @iosdevweekly.com, which led us to this article announcing the “Swift SDK for Android” 😮

The project has grown since Apple open sourced Swift back in 2015. Huge kudos to anyone championing cross-platform development efforts! What do you think?

This Toolbox Spotlight also serves as an introduction to the newest member of our team: Deepak!
He’s “been making iOS apps since before the App Store was released,” and when he’s not thinking about software engineering, he’s probably thinking about basketball.
