Use swift as a scripting language without the slow start time:

Is “$0” (`argv[0]`) correct when the pre-compiled binary is launched instead of the script?

    Ahh good question. I had to think a while before I understood what you meant. Let me check when I can.

    Nice catch.

    edit: you are right. The binary version will result in a different argv[0]. Not sure what'd the best solution would be. Hardcoding doesn't make sense, as symlinks also change argv[0], so overriding is not the way to go.
