Swift: Open Source

December 3, 2015

Today Apple kept its promise to open source Swift:

Swift is now open source!

We are excited by this new chapter in the story of Swift. After Apple unveiled the Swift programming language, it quickly became one of the fastest growing languages in history. Swift makes it easy to write software that is incredibly fast and safe by design. Now that Swift is open source, you can help make the best general purpose programming language available everywhere.

It includes an in-progress complete rewrite of Foundation in Swift. Incredible.
