Swift is a high-performance, general-purpose programming language built with a modern approach to safety, performance, and software design patterns. With a clean and modern syntax, it offers seamless access to existing C and Objective-C code and frameworks.

Swift makes it easy to write software that is incredibly fast and safe by design. It comes packaged with core features like flow control, data structures and functions, with high-level constructs like objects, protocols, closures, and generics. Its many features make it a language that is powerful, yet fun to use. It’s no wonder that Swift has quickly become one of the fastest growing languages in history.

Features

  • Supports inferred types to make code cleaner and less prone to mistakes
  • Modules eliminate headers and provide namespaces
  • Memory is managed automatically
  • Closures unified with function pointers
  • Tuples and multiple return values
  • Generics
  • Fast and concise iteration over a range or collection
