There was a problem hiding this comment. I think this line makes the description less precise, and furthers this misconception that it's a Apple/Darwin-only language. The rest of the additions are already covered on the front page of swift.org. There was a problem hiding this comment. @WowbaggersLiquidLunch thanks for reaching as you mentioned your point I support your point but I don't think so it's less precise form anypoint of view, regarding swift.org well if it's in README it won't affect them either There was a problem hiding this comment.

| Writing Swift code is interactive and fun, the syntax is concise yet expressive, and Swift includes modern features developers love. | ||
| Swift code is safe by design, yet also produces software that runs lightning-fast. | ||
