Apple surprised all developers by introducing its new programming language “Swift” for writing iOS and OSx applications at WWDC 2014 Event . It seems like a replacement of current programming language “Objective C”.
As per Apple’s developer site, Swift is an Object Oriented Programming Language for Cocoa and Cocoa Touch. As it is built with LLVM compiler developers can use Swift Code side-by-side with Objective C, means in one single application one can use both Swift and Objective C.
Best coding features of Swift are :-
- Closures unified with function pointers
- Tuples and multiple return values
- Generics
- Fast and concise iteration over a range or collection
- Structs that support methods, extensions, protocols.
- Functional programming patterns, e.g.: map and filter
At last all we can say is “Swift is a modern programming language which is designed for safety, fast and powerful performance.”
