Join us as we talk about Swift packages names, explain some new details of the Swift Package Index' build system, and discuss an interesting paper about leveraging a compiler to find privacy bugs. And, as usual, we highlight our package picks.

Apologies for the background white noise at the start of the episode on Dave's microphone. It clears up about 15 minutes in to the show.
