Last year, my team shipped a Swift rewrite of Apple's TrueType hinting interpreter. The new code is strictly memory safe, relentlessly tested, and faster than the C code it replaced. This year, it is my pleasure to ship it for a second time, now as an open source package, and to share our experience on the Swift blog: https://www.swift.org/blog/migrating-truetype-hinting-to-swift/
