I'd like to see some Swift tutorials out there that are not related to Cocoa and other iOS/OSX frameworks. I've tried Swift several times, but as a sysadmin, I'm interested in cli apps, servers, network libraries etc. I either already know how to do these things or can find out quickly in python/ruby/go or even rust. But whenever I try to find out how to do these already familiar things in Swift, it's a pain to find the right documentation/examples.

I set up a general purpose Docker image for go-rust-swift on Linux platform https://github.com/ontouchstart/grs https://github.com/ontouchstart/grs Hope it will make it easier for people to write CLI tutorials.

Well that would be hard because Swift doesn't have a standard library comparable to other languages - most of the things you're used to there is provided the Cocoa. Which also puts a big question mark over the cross-platform lip service - without a good standard library you won't be able to decently write cross-platform software. Just like it was pointless to use ObjC beforehand due to dependence of libraries on Apple OS only frameworks.

  The Foundation APIs are available on Linux in Swift 3. https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/mast...
