This makes learning Swift much more compelling!
Curious how well it is received..

This was a long time coming. Swift is much more appealing syntax-wise than say Java, Kotlin and C#(remember Xamarin, anyone?).
Still, there’s a lot of pending compatibility work required and some complex/advanced apps may not work but this is a step in the right direction.

With Swift, you can create iOS and macOS apps, build backends with Vapor, and now develop Android apps too. I’m looking forward to seeing this part mature soon so I can build an end-to-end product in one fine language.

Did you learn Swift after? What do you think of it?

I did learn it, but I haven’t really used it in real-world projects yet. I’ll probably need to refresh my knowledge and actually build something before I can comfortably say I know Swift.
Seems Apple been partnering with Google a lot lately. They will be using Gemini with Siri.

This is very interesting for me. I worked with Xamarin many years ago.

Interesting. I’m a bit hesitant to use anything from Apple, though. Given their track record, I’d expect the development experience on non-Apple systems to be pretty limited. Has anyone here tried developing iOS apps on Linux with Swift?

This is really very interesting, is it possible to create cross platform apps with Swift, like now?
