Review Swift?

Swift is highly praised for its fast performance, strong safety features, and seamless integration with Apple's ecosystem. Makers of Sugar Free: Food Scanner and Eight Sleep highlight its ability to enhance app performance and reliability. Omi makers appreciate its speed and style for building native apps. Users find Swift beginner-friendly with a clean syntax, making it a top choice for iOS and macOS development, though the tooling ecosystem is somewhat limited.

I've been building cross-platform apps with SwiftUI (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS) and the experience is genuinely delightful. The syntax is clean, idiomatic, and just makes sense (even when Xcode decides to be Xcode). The language design is thoughtful and modern. SwiftUI makes UI development feel natural across all Apple platforms. Type safety without the verbosity. The tooling ecosystem is still smaller than I'd like. It's very much "the Apple way" - polished but contained within their world. If you're building for Apple's ecosystem, Swift is the obvious choice and far better than something cross-platform in an Electron shell. Just don't expect the sprawling community you'd find with JavaScript or Python.
