This is awesome, and I believe opens up what I and a bunch of people were wanting which is the ability to run Swift binaries in Alpine containers! I'd seen work on musl support going in but I didn't realise it would all be going so soon. Cross compilation is very nice too to not need your runtime platform to necessarily support the whole toolchain.
I'm really glad there's finally support for vanilla Debian and from what I've seen it looks like there are initial Swift packages finally being added in the Debian testing version, which will be nice. Debian is more and more my go-to for development VMs where Ubuntu used to be, so I'm excited for official support!
With all this and embedded, I'm really excited about Swift! I've done a lot of embedded in C and I'm super keen to try out Swift on my STM dev boards!
