What is Swift?

Swift is a high-performance system programming language. It has a clean and modern syntax, offers seamless access to existing C and Objective-C code and frameworks, and is memory safe by default.

Although inspired by Objective-C and many other languages, Swift is not itself a C-derived language. As a complete and independent language, Swift packages core features like flow control, data structures, and functions, with high-level constructs like objects, protocols, closures, and generics. Swift embraces modules, eliminating the need for headers and the code duplication they entail.

To learn more about the programming language, visit swift.org.

How to use this image

Start a REPL

Swift requires a little bit of extra security privilege to run the REPL. The following command creates an ephemeral container, attaches your terminal to it and starts the Swift REPL. A great way to try out pre-release builds!

docker run --cap-add sys_ptrace -it --rm swift swift

Pull the Docker Image From Docker Hub:

docker pull swift

Create a Container from the Image and Attach It:

docker run  -it --name swiftfun swift /bin/bash

To Start and Attach Your Image Later:

Start your image with name swiftfun

docker start swiftfun

and then attach it

docker attach swiftfun
