Review Swift?

Reviewers offer only sparse feedback, but what is here is clearly positive. The most specific note comes from the makers of Omi, who say Swift helped them build smooth native apps quickly, highlighting speed and polish in real use. Beyond that, other founder reviews are empty, and there are no user reviews to balance or challenge that view. So the narrow takeaway is that founders see Swift as a strong fit for native app development, with little detailed criticism on record.

I've been building cross-platform apps with SwiftUI (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS) and the experience is genuinely delightful. The syntax is clean, idiomatic, and just makes sense (even when Xcode decides to be Xcode). The language design is thoughtful and modern. SwiftUI makes UI development feel natural across all Apple platforms. Type safety without the verbosity. The tooling ecosystem is still smaller than I'd like. It's very much "the Apple way" - polished but contained within their world. If you're building for Apple's ecosystem, Swift is the obvious choice and far better than something cross-platform in an Electron shell. Just don't expect the sprawling community you'd find with JavaScript or Python.

What's great

type safety (1)modern syntax (1)SwiftUI (5)seamless integration with Apple's ecosystem (6)

What needs improvement

small community (1)limited tooling ecosystem (1)

used Swift to build Firetask 5

•3 reviews

Already worked with a lot of programming languages (C, C++, ObjectiveC, Java, JavaScript), but Swift is definitely one of the best (if not THE best). The only small downside is that generics are really extremely "typed", but even this improved a lot over the last few years. The best things about Swift: safe optionals, good error handling and Swift concurrency.

used Swift to build TypoTab

•3 reviews

I like Swift because it's super easy to get started with for developing apps in the Apple ecosystem. TypoTab is the first app I've ever made, and starting out in Swift was super easy. I'm not sure if there are alternatives for making a menu bar application for macOS, but regardless, I did not look elsewhere.
