I refer to Swift as a "compiled language" because no officially provided interpreter exists for it.

Bitrig runs Swift apps which are dynamically generated by an LLM on the iPhone, despite the iPhone strict security provisions (e.g. inability to write executable pages of memory). The way we do this is by parsing the generated Swift code and mapping that to the compiled calls to the libraries that come in the OS. It's pretty weird, but we think it's worth it to get the ability to immediately render the generated code on the phone.

Thanks for the reply!

I think that's a more accessible explanation. Consider folding that into the article's introduction.

Is the idea that your interpreter is signed, and then you translate the user's arbitrary unsigned Swift code into calls to other already-signed code that ships with iOS?
