As someone who doesn't develop for the Apple ecosystem, I can't quite find one place that articulates well what the Swift development philosophy is and what it brings to the table besides just being modern language with shims for interacting with legacy Apple APIs. Why would I use Swift on Linux?
Most of the posts that I see related to Swift are RFCs evaluating solutions to problems in other languages. I rarely get to see the actual solutions being integrated into the language. Is this just a result of HN readers caring more about language design than learning to leverage the Swift language?
