"Swift System"
You can read more about it here:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/system
I don't think there are any other WWDC sessions that talk about it in more detail, but I'm happy to help answer any questions. (I worked on the documentation linked above.)

The documentation is sufficient, it looks like a fairly simple library. What I didn't know was what the word "system" might include .. I see the material, so far, covers the file system and that's a good start! While I'm back here, commenting on this, I'd like to ask if this will become part of Swift's body of open source work? It seems a good candidate, given its subject matter is platform independent.
Ted addressed this question on the Swift forums: https://forums.swift.org/t/open-sourcing-swiftsystem/37830/7
I want to call special attention to Ted's note that Swift System will not be platform independent; it is not intended to be an abstraction layer for OS interfaces. Rather, its job is to express each platform's semantics with fluent Swift-native bindings.
