I love swift but don't do any OS X development and don't want to use XCode. Not sure how the LSP plugin is doing these days but last time I tried it it was pretty unstable (also why can't they have it in the store so you won't need to install manually?). I wish swift for tensorflow had really taken off and put it in a position to compete with python as it's a very enjoyable language.
- askonomm 4y agoI've done some Swift using AppCode (https://www.jetbrains.com/objc/ https://www.jetbrains.com/objc/), a Jetbrains editor, and was very satisfied.
- biellls 4y agoI remember trying that but I wanted to write swift for server and Linux and it was geared entirely to OS X and iOS apps at the time.
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoI know a very good developer that uses AppCode, and swears by it. He is also a native Swift/UIKit developer. Xcode is a bug farm. I would be filled with chagrin, if it were my project, but it's always easy to be a Monday morning quarterback. It gets the job done.
- biellls 4y agoSounds like he's still in the apple ecosystem. What i wanted to do was use it for scripting and server stuff (swift for server and Linux) and I think AppCode was not compatible with that at the time.
- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoI'm pretty sure that Swift is an llvm frontend, and that there are probably a number of adapters for it. Wouldn't surprise me a bit, if it could be done with Eclipse (not my favorite IDE). It's certainly doable command-line.
