What is Swift
Swift is a new programming language created by Apple for iOS and OS X app development. The
The new programming language. It is built with the LLVM (Low Level Virtual Machine) compiler included in Xcode 6 beta. Swift adopts safe programming patterns and adds modern features to make programming easier, more flexible, and more fun.

Sample Code:
var implicitInteger = 70
var implicitDouble = 70.0
var explicitDouble: Double = 70
var implicitDouble = 70.0
var explicitDouble: Double = 70
let apples = 3
let oranges = 5
let appleSummary = "I have \(apples) apples."
let fruitSummary = "I have \(apples + oranges) pieces of fruit."
let oranges = 5
let appleSummary = "I have \(apples) apples."
let fruitSummary = "I have \(apples + oranges) pieces of fruit."
println("Hello, world")
let people = ["Anna": 67, "Beto": 8, "Jack": 33, "Sam": 25]
for (name, age) in people {
println("\(name) is \(age) years old.")
let people = ["Anna": 67, "Beto": 8, "Jack": 33, "Sam": 25]
for (name, age) in people {
println("\(name) is \(age) years old.")
The benefits that Swift offers
- It is Object oriented
- The programmers will be able to see results of their programming in real time
- Its faster than Objective C and Python
- Supports some functional programming styles
- Supports modern language features (optional typing, generics, type inference, namespaces)
- Identifiers can be Unicode characters (Variable names can be in Chinese)
- Interoperable with Objective C
Get your hands dirty on Swift: Try at and test it here. You can starting building your apps but they can be listed on app store after the availability of latest OS X in Fall 2014.
What will happen to existing apps on Apple store written in Objective C?
Well Swift code can run alongside Objective-C and C in the same application.
Conclusion:
Swift is here to help people build iOS apps at ease and with little or no knowledge of programming. You may see advanced graphics on your screens with the new programming language. Having said that the problem of the developers still continues as they still need to develop applications in each platform separately.
This is just the beginning and the developer community has to decide whether Apple Swift action will be a success or it will be just another programming language like Google Go.
