swift-dev!</p>
<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">I'm
one of the selected GSoC 2017 students under the Haiku Project [0]
and I intend to add Haiku support to the Swift compiler and its
standard libraries. [1] </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">Haiku is an
open-source operating system that specifically targets personal
computing and aims to be a platform that
is </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">easy to use and learn for both end-users and developers,
whilst retaining BeOS ABI </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">compatibility </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">[2]. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">My plan is to only
support 64 bit Haiku (x86_64-unknown-haiku) for now, 32 bit support
is also a possibility but I’m not sure if this will get in the way
of Swift’s goals? (IIRC there was a 32 bit Linux port that hasn’t
been merged upstream.)</span>

<div class=""><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">I have already</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""> patched

CMakeFiles </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">for initial
support in my swift fork, but they are based on
the ’swift-3.1-branch' sources [3]. As I plan to cleanup these
changes and merge them upstream, should I be targeting my porting
efforts to Swift 4 rather than Swift 3.1.1? My final proposal [4]
documents the project timeline for executing this porting
task.</span>
