Swift Programming Quick Start for Xubuntu 18.04 Bionic
Hello Xubuntu User! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-Step How to Install Swift Compiler and Getting-Started with Swift Programming on Xubuntu 18.04 Bionic LTS GNU/Linux.
And the Swift Xubuntu 18.04 Release includes: Compiler, Lldb, and related Tools.
Moreover, Swift is a Programming Language for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS apps that builds on the best of C and Objective-C, without the constraints of C compatibility.
Then Swift‘s Clean Slate, Backed by the mature and much-loved Cocoa and Cocoa Touch Frameworks, is an opportunity to Reimagine how Software Development works.
Again, the Swift Compiler is principally responsible for translating Swift source code into efficient, executable machine code.
However, the Swift Compiler Front-End also Supports a number of other Tools, including IDE integration with Syntax Coloring, Code Completion, and other conveniences.
