I would love to try Swift for things other than iOS if it had nice development tools. I don't ask for much. A decent LSP and code formatter are all I want. I refuse to use Xcode, so being able to code Swift in my code editor of preference would be great.
- OliverM 1y agoIt has both of those. I use them from Emacs comfortably.
- reaperducer 1y agoI'm not a Swiftie, but there's this if you're already on a Mac: https://extensions.panic.com/extensions/pixelfoundry/pixelfoundry.Swift/ https://extensions.panic.com/extensions/pixelfoundry/pixelfo...
- chipotle_coyote 1y agoI think if you were already on a Mac and wanted to use Panic Nova, you'd be better off using Icaras: https://extensions.panic.com/extensions/panic/panic.Icarus/ https://extensions.panic.com/extensions/panic/panic.Icarus/ The one you linked to looks like it's just syntax highlighting; Icarus has that, but also has LSP, building, and debugging support.

- runjake 1y agoConcur. This is a pretty good setup. Caveat: I'm using Swift for command-line software.
- belmont_sup 1y agoWhat about a formatter? I recall having to figure out which library to install as binary just to do formatting. What do you do?
- timsneath 1y agoThat's built in now -- the default VSCode "Format Document" / "Format Selection" commands work with just the Swift extension installed.
