> Does Swift 6 support running on FreeBSD ?

@mhjacobson had [the compiler and stdlib running on FreeBSD last year](https://github.com/mhjacobson/swift/blob/freebsd-docs/docs/FreeBSD.md), and [submitted several pulls but has disappeared on github since](https://github.com/search?q=author%3Amhjacobson&type=pullrequests&s=created&o=desc). I think it would make for [a good GSoC project to get the rest of the toolchain ported](https://forums.swift.org/t/gsoc-2024-official-call-for-ideas/69978/6): feel free to publicize that option in the FreeBSD community, as all it takes is for some student to apply and the relevant teams to accept the proposal.
