A really interesting factoid about Arc that I'm not sure many know about: their upcoming Windows app is written in Swift and SwiftUI. They've contributed significantly to the language to get it building on Windows and are re-implementing Win native backends for some of Apple's core libraries. All of this will be open source when they're done (or so they claim).
