Swift Language
@swift.org
Swift is a general-purpose programming language that's fast, modern, safe, and a joy to write. Designed for all, developed in the open.
At last: a unified home for Swift documentation, pulling together the language reference, core libraries and tooling, and platform specifics into a single central home, no matter what you're building! Check it out and give us feedback: docs.swift.org
