Swift – New iOS App Development Language

Recently, at a developer seminar Apple launched a new programming language for its iOS platform. Introduction of Swift by Apple brings a new language in the C family. Constructing on its alteration to the LLVM compiler, the company has been modernising Objective-C while building a new programming language to take benefit of current philosophy of language design. Swift mixes the density and depth of C with the comfort of scripting languages such as Python. Moreover, it’s fast, and works well with large programmes and collections.

Similarity with Objective-C

At the core, though, Swift is still the all too familiar Objective-C development language developers are used to working with. You can blend and tie Swift and Objective-C codes in the same application, so you can still reuse existing code libraries in new applications. It’s not important to write all the codes again.

Swift is actually just a generalization of Objective-C and the fundamental LLVM compiler. Actually, they are so closely connected that you could virtually describe Swift as a fresh dialect of Objective-C, kind of English translation of Latin classics.

New Features in Swift

One of Swift’s main features is its backing for type inference. If you forget to state a variable type, however set it to be one that’s by now has been declared, then Swift deduces that it’s the declared form. It makes your code safer – decreasing the risk of crashes. It also limits the access to pointers, with its personal memory management. The LLVM Swift compiler will always regard this as an instant error.

Composing a Swift app is very easy: you just start. There’s no requirement of setting up a chief function, or import locations. Maybe Swift’s most significant innovation is the accumulation of Play area to Xcode. Apple is consuming Xcode 6 and Swift to uncover most of the LVVM compiler to its basic developers, with the capability of seeing what your code can do in live action.

Future

iOS was calling out for a new programming language for a long time, with C – Objective being too complicated and lacking some feature. Most developers will relish the chance of working on this more interactive platform. Besides, accumulation of live testing, makes it practical and less time consuming.
