Wie von Apple versprochen, ist Swift nun offiziell Open Source.
Auf der Projektseite swift.org schreibt Apple:
We are excited by this new chapter in the story of Swift. After Apple unveiled the Swift programming language, it quickly became one of the fastest growing languages in history. Swift makes it easy to write software that is incredibly fast and safe by design. Now that Swift is open source, you can help make the best general purpose programming language available everywhere.
Der Quellcode von Swift wird auf GitHub gehostet.

Gleichzeitig mit dem Start von Swift als Open Source hat Apple auch eine Linux Portierung veröffentlicht.
