Swift
The powerful, flexible, multiplatform programming language.
Swift is an open-source, general-purpose programming language developed with a focus on safety, performance, and expressiveness. It compiles to native code, supports memory safety and data race safety at compile time, and interoperates natively with C and C++. Swift targets a wide range of platforms and use cases, from embedded firmware and command-line tools to mobile apps and cloud services.
Swift compiles directly to native code with predictable memory management, enforcing safety guarantees at compile time and providing native interoperability with C and C++.
