PROFILE
Alexis Laferrière
In September 2025, Alex Laferriere developed a foundational Swift-C interoperability feature for the swiftlang/swift-evolution repository, focusing on seamless integration between Swift, C, and Objective-C. Leveraging skills in API design, compiler development, and language design, Alex introduced new Swift annotations such as @c and @c @implementation to mark global functions and enums as C-compatible and to provide C/ObjC implementations. The work included extending @objc support, enhancing type-checking for C-representable types, and updating compatibility header generation. This feature reduced integration friction for C and Objective-C codebases, enabling more robust cross-language adoption in Swift projects with a well-considered technical approach.
