Dumb question: I'd love to learn more about Swift and try out writing Swift code, but is development still limited to XCode/macOS?

- harisamin 10y agoYou can play with swift on linux via docker too. https://github.com/swiftdocker/docker-swift https://github.com/swiftdocker/docker-swift I'm one of the maintainers :)
- sp33der89 10y agoI usually start learning a new programming language making various GUI programs, maybe using a library like SDL if needed. But I can't seem to find anything like SDL for swift on linux! Most beginner resources assume you're using XCode on a Mac. Or does Cocoa work on Linux too(last time I checked this is highly not plausible)?
