This is one of the first fruits born of the three-fold Swift 6 initiative [0]: 1) Accelerate growth of the Swift software ecosystem (cross platform tooling and libraries) , 2) Create a fantastic development experience (build times and debugging), 3) Invest in user-empowering language directions (language APIs and memory ownership model, etc).
This hits almost all of those, and while it isn't the highest priority for lots of Swift users today, Swift Crypto will hopefully create a way for there to be lots of future users of Swift on other platforms. I'm really happy that the Core Team seems to have really taken those 3 efforts seriously.
