That is very good news!

I've used Swift a bunch for hobby projects, and the two things that suck about it are:

1. XCode

2. Compile times

I would assume if you're coming from C++ or Rust the compile time issues aren't really something you notice anyway :P

You don't strictly have to use Xcode to use swift, there's a good LSP for use in other editors.

That said, if you're using Swift to build an app, you're probably still going to want to use Xcode for building and debugging

  • Yea, I'm building iOS apps mostly, and some macOS apps, so definitely need to use XCode :/

    • I have a nice workflow going for the iOS apps I work on where I use neovim for all my editing, and Xcode for building and debugging.
