1st class support for Linux is a must. It's a pain to distribute anything you write in swift (unless you can now statically-link?) By this a mean common distro

1st class support for Linux is a must. It's a pain to distribute anything you write in swift (unless you can now statically-link?) By this a mean common distros like Debian Stable must have a package for core libs, going to https://www.swift.org/download/ https://www.swift.org/download/ doesn't cut it.
