Is it possible to write in swift under Windows or Linux?

Question

Swift

Swift has been completely OpenSource for quite some time now. However, are there builds for Windows or Linux?

Answer 1

You can https://github.com/tinysun212/swift-windows
Build according to the instructions, tested on Windows 7SP1 x86_64 + MSYS2-mingw-w64 Build
from the upstream-with-windows branch (the same for all clang, llvm, .etc dependencies)
The author has not yet compiled a release containing the Foundation modules and SwiftPackageManager, however, there is a MinGWCrt module that provides support for the standard C library (mingw-w64), it is also not difficult to make a module to support WinAPI
. So if you don’t need exactly the Swift that is used in Apple Xcode, but the language itself is interesting for learning, and you need enough support for C stdlib and other C libraries, then it’s quite suitable.

Answer 2

So far, there is only for Linux: https://swift.org/download/#latest-development-sna... Not
for windows (and, most likely, will not be).
