"Saleem Abdulrasool is the release manager for the Windows platform (@compnerd), is a prolific contributor to the Swift project and the primary instigator behind the port of Swift to Windows." Saleem's github, https://github.com/compnerd https://github.com/compnerd, lists swift-win32 repo, which is a "a thin wrapper over the Win32 APIs for graphics on Windows." So it's one person wrapping Win32. Not too promising yet, but it's early and there's room for Windows programmers to get involved.
- rvz 7y agoIncorrect. That GitHub repository isn't the Swift port for Windows. This is the actual port which has the CI and Installer for Swift on Windows: [0] [0] https://github.com/compnerd/swift-build/releases https://github.com/compnerd/swift-build/releases
- okareaman 7y agoI took that text from "5-3-release-process" I'm not talking about Swift compiling on Windows, I'm talking about the GUI situation, but I'll install it and hopefully be pleasantly surprised with a full featured GUI SDK. But don't get me wrong, a supported compiler and std lib for Windows from Apple is a fantastic start.
