I'm incredibly excited for this. I thought swift was basically going to be stuck on macOS. Last time I converted the swift compiler from the Ubuntu package to work on Debian, stuff was looking really awry. Most things work but not simple things like sigterm signals. Swift is a fantastic language. I think the most advanced and smart language today. And I say this having used over 20 professionally over 25 years. Just look at how swiftUI is implemented. It's not even a DSL, it's Swift naturally! Compare it to flutter and you'll see how incredible it is. (I do like dart too though) As for the language it's full of clever features and advanced ideas that don't suck to use and consider the developer real world use of the language. Two things really suck in swift though; compiler error messages are straight out of the university of assholery and documentation was crafted in Mordor probably. Of course most libraries probably won't work well on Linux yet but there is a future with the right balance between safety and speed and joy of developing.
