This is great news! I have a BBB and a RC truck I've been meaning to build a robot out of this summer, and this gives me an option to interface with the hardware besides the Python interface.
Brad Larson (https://twitter.com/bradlarson) works at a company called SonoPlot that makes robots for research applications, and I believe he's written a few blog posts on how switching to Swift made the software driving those robots more robust (e.g. http://www.sunsetlakesoftware.com/2014/12/02/why-were-rewriting-our-robotics-software-swift ) Austin On Sun, May 8, 2016 at 6:14 PM, Jon Hoffman via swift-users < swift-users@swift.org> wrote: > Is there anyone interested in robotics with Swift?
