According to Wikipedia, “Swift is a proprietary programming language, with first-class functions, for iOS and OS X development, created by Apple and introduced at Apple’s developer conference WWDC 2014. Swift is designed to coexist with Objective-C, Apple’s previous object-oriented language, and to be more resilient against erroneous code. It is built with the LLVM compiler included in Xcode 6 beta.”
Some unique features of Swift:
- According to Apple it is speedy. Further, it is safe and inventive for the purpose of programming.
- It gives a first time possibility of corresponding collaboration on the development platform.
- The language is meant for operational task of OS X and iOS because Swift works with Objective-C.
- Swift is using fastest LLVM compiler (along with total Xcode backing).
- Swift gives the opportunity of generating compound apps, with very less coding.
Swift is the result of latest research. According to Apple, “Named parameters retrieved from the objective-C are expressed in a clean syntax that makes APIs in Swift even easier to read and maintain.” One of the important aspects of Swift is that one can see the outcome of the programming live.
