What is Swift

Swift is an incredibly powerful and simple programming language introduced by Apple in 2014, enabling many programmers to create apps for iOS, MacOS, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. The language inherits ideas from Objective-C, Rust, Haskell, Ruby, Python, C#, and CLU. It uses secure programming patterns and contains new features to make programming fun and engaging. Created by Chris Lattner, it came out to be a robust, fast, and open language, making it even easier to create apps for the world’s most popular phone.

Swift is a modern programming language with a stable release version that is easy to learn, even if it’s your first language. It prevents a lot of errors at the compilation stage, speeds up the development process and improves the quality of the code.
