What is swift?[edit]
Swift is a programming language made for development on apple devices. Swift was created by Chris Lattner and started development in 2010. For programming on apple devices, swift is a great alternative to Objective C (Which most programmers hate).
Performance[edit]
Swift runs significantly faster than Python, PHP, LUA(Nobody uses this), and Ruby but runs much slower than rust and C. This is pretty good for an object-oriented programming language.
Why swift?[edit]
- Swift is fast
- Swift can be used on IOS devices
- Swift is object-oriented
- Swift is modern
- Swift is common
