Swift for iOS

Swift is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm, object-oriented, functional, imperative and block-structured language. The latest research on programming languages and is built using a modern approach to safety, software design patterns by Apple Inc. for iOS applications, macOS applications, watch OS applications, tv OS applications.
Swift is easy to learn, easy to implement, safe, fast and expressive. Developing  in the open has its exciting aspects as it is now free to be ported across a wide range of platforms, devices, and use cases.
Additional features of  include:

  • Closures unified with function pointers
  • Tuples and multiple return values
  • Generics
  • Concise and fast iteration over a range or collection
  • Structs that support methods, extensions, and protocols
  • Powerful error handling built-in
  • Advanced control flow with do, guard, defer, and repeat keywords

Memory Management –
Swift uses Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) to manage memory.
The current list of projects include:

  • The  compiler command-line tool
  • The standard library bundled as part of the language
  • Core libraries that provide higher-level functionality
  • The  REPL included LLDB debugger
  • Xcode playground support to enable playgrounds in Xcode.
  • The  package manager for distributing and building Swift source code

Bringing  to Windows

Porting Swift to Windows is not about simply porting the compiler, but rather ensuring that the full ecosystem is available on the platform. This includes the compiler, the standard library, and the core libraries. There are many technical details in the story of bringing Swift to a usable state on Windows, and if you are interested in them, I would recommend checking out my talk on the topic from the LLVM Developer Conference.

With these core libraries and the flexible interoperability of  with C, it is possible to develop applications on Windows purely  while taking advantage of the existing corpus of libraries on the Windows platforms.

 we want to share with you an incredible new tool chain we’ve created that takes the pain and hassles out of working with   for  Android. This toolchain helps dev teams utilize the code they’ve written for the iOS or Mac platforms to create great Android applications.

It was around this time that Swift became an open-source project and after a short while, it also got the ability to compile code for the Android platform. We explored our options and it was pretty obvious to us that we should move in that direction.
