Swift development on Windows is productive and ready for industry use, with a mature environment for writing code and continuous improvements to the developer experience.
Visual Studio Code is the preferred development environment, offering essential features like building, debugging, auto-complete, error reporting, and more for Swift programming on Windows.
Swift developers on Windows have access to a range of tools like SPM, CMake, LLDB, and Windows-specific debugging tools like WinDbg and Windows Performance Analyzer for efficient building, testing, and debugging of Swift code.
Swift's focus on native interoperability with other languages allows for flexibility in building rich, native experiences across various environments.
Swift uses clang to directly translate between languages, avoiding runtime performance costs, enabling easy integration with existing C libraries.
On Windows, Swift's interoperability features provide access to a wide range of system APIs, including COM, C++, and modules, opening up opportunities for cross-platform development.
