The Swift programming language: a high-performance, memory-safe systems and application programming language with a modern syntax and seamless C/Objective-C interoperability. This repository contains the Swift compiler, standard library, and toolchain sources.

Use cases

  • build ios and macos apps in swift
  • write a memory-safe systems programming language project
  • contribute to the swift compiler
  • build a custom swift toolchain from source
  • learn a modern statically typed language
  • interoperate with existing c and objective-c code

When to choose

  • you are developing for apple platforms or want a safe, fast compiled language
  • you need C/Objective-C interoperability with modern language ergonomics
  • you want to contribute to or study a production-grade compiler

When to avoid

  • you need a language for embedded microcontrollers with tiny footprints
  • your team is standardized on another ecosystem like JVM or .NET
  • you only need a scripting language without a compile step
