Swift，一种强大的开源编程语言，
让大家都能开发出众的 App。 Swift 是一种强劲而直观的编程语言，它由 Apple 创造，可用来为 iOS、Mac、Apple TV 和 Apple Watch 开发 app。它旨在为开发者提供充分的自由。Swift 易用并且开源，只要有想法，谁都可以创造非凡。
Swift is a high-performance system 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.
On December 3, 2015, the Swift language, supporting libraries, debugger, and package manager were published under the Apache 2.0 license with a Runtime Library Exception, and Swift.org was created to host the project.
苹果公司在WWDC 2014上宣布了他们将会推出一款新的编程语言，面向iOS和OS X系统的开发人员，这个新的语言被命名为Swift。
Swift在iOS 8发布的时候推向市场，用来取代 Objective-C 语言。 对于这个巨大的决定，苹果公司的解释是Swift速度更快，使用起来更加容易。 在Swift推出之后，苹果公司应该不会停止对 Objective-C 的支持，开发工具会同时支持两种语言。
在 Swift 开源后，开发者社区活跃。目前 CocoaPods 中有大量的第三方开发库已经支持 Swift。
