Swift

At TO briefly describe this project as follows:

“A powerful and intuitive programming language designed to give developers the freedom and capabilities they need to create a new generation of cutting-edge apps. Swift is easy to learn and use and is open source, so anyone with an idea can create something amazing."

While, on your own Official website, add the following to it:

"ItIt's a general-purpose programming language built with a modern approach to security, performance, and software design patterns. The aim of the Swift project is to create the best language available for uses ranging from system programming, to mobile and desktop applications, scaling up to cloud services.

Useful information about Swift

Much more information is available on "Swift", In the next link corresponding to your official website on GitHub. In which, among many other information, they add the following:

"Swift is a high-performance systems programming language. It has a clean and modern syntax, offers seamless access to existing C and Objective-C code and frameworks, and is memory-safe by default. Although inspired by Objective-C and many other languages, Swift is not itself a C-derived language. As a complete and self-contained language, Swift groups basic features such as flow control, data structures, and functions, with high-level constructs such as objects, protocols, closures, and generics. Swift embraces modules, eliminating the need for headers and the code duplication that they entail."

Finally, it is important to highlight that, Swift currently going for his version 5.3.3 which has been released recently this year, specifically the 28/01/2021. And if you want to know a little more about its evolution or future releases, you can visit the following link.
