It was great to see the announcement of the Swift on Android working group. Is there any interest / activity in setting up something similar for Windows?

I would be open to setting up a Windows workgroup - though I don't personally see much activity outside of The Browser Company in terms of contributions to Windows from the rest of the community.
If there is interest in others contributing though, I'm more than happy to help facilitate that and help found that.

Doesn't Apple have a team in London working on Swift on Windows? Okay, that maybe does not count as "community" and I guess you're communicating anyway...

We, at Raycast, are expanding our usage of Swift on Windows and we would therefore be interested on this working group. That said, our experience contributing to the compiler is currently nonexistent, but we would be open to allocate time for it.

That sounds great! What have you already shipped/are working on? What's the experience been like?
Great! What types of problems would you be looking to solve? There are a large number of ancillary projects, and a much broader vision of how the toolchain is meant to be consumed, but most of the work requires a fair amount of effort to come to light. If you are interested in helping solve those issues, that would be very welcome.
