Swift Interop with Erlang's Distributed Actors: A Seamless Solution
2025-07-23

A new actor system, `swift-erlang-actor-system`, enables Swift programs to seamlessly integrate with Erlang's distributed clusters. By wrapping Erlang's C node functionality, developers can use Swift's distributed actors to communicate with Erlang nodes. The system cleverly uses the @StableNames macro to address name mangling issues in cross-language remote calls and supports custom transport protocols. This provides an elegant solution for Swift and Erlang interoperability and paves the way for running Elixir applications on iOS and other Apple platforms.
