🆕 The Swift extension is now live on the Open VSX Registry, enabling first-class Swift support in Cursor, VSCodium, AWS Kiro, and Google Antigravity. That means code completion, refactoring, debugging, testing, and DocC support, wherever you code.🧑‍💻https://swift.org/blog/expanding-swift-ide-support/
