About:
Swift is a modern, general-purpose programming language developed by Apple with a focus on safety, performance, and software design trends. It provides a clean syntax while maintaining the power and depth of systems programming. It is designed to build robust software for iOS, macOS, Linux, and beyond.
Key Features:
  • Strong type inference and safety
  • Modern, expressive syntax
  • Native performance via LLVM
  • Cross-platform (Apple & Linux)
Use Cases:
  • Building native Apple ecosystem apps
  • High-performance command-line tools
  • Systems and server-side programming
Alternatives:
  • Rust – Similar performance focus with stronger memory safety guarantees but steeper learning curve
  • Go – Simpler concurrency model but less expressive type system and performance characteristics
