The Swift Parallel Scripting Language

Another programming language with same name Apple selected.
Even the logo is similar (birds)...
What did Apple people think?

The Swift Parallel Scripting Language:
"The Swift parallel scripting language. Fast easy parallel scripting - on multicores, clusters, clouds and supercomputers"
Swift




foreach protein in proteinList {
  runBLAST(protein);
}

Swift Programming Language - Apple Developer

  • for index in 1...5 { println("\(index) times 5 is \(index * 5)")
  • }

Brackets (Parentheses)
  • parentheses or "round brackets" ( )
  • "square brackets" or "box brackets" [ ]
  • braces or "curly brackets" { }
  • "angle brackets" < >
