Apple Inc. has introduced many innovative technologies since 1976. One of their latest discovery is the Swift - The next generation iOS apps development programming language. Apple Swift have managed to create a lot of buzzes already because of many good reasons. So, let find out more details about the latest iOS apps programming language - 

Introduction to Swift: Apple launched Swift during its WWDC event held on 2nd June 2014. Swift is built on the Low-Level Virtual Machine (LLVM) compiler and runtime quite similar to one used in Objective-C. Apple has also incorporated the best features of both Objective-C and C in Swift that makes it a complete delight for iOS developers. Moreover, Swift also comes with some new advanced features without any compatibility constraints.

Interestingly, Swift also allows programmers to see their line of codes in real-time while writing them. Also, Swift is very much compatible with iOS 7, 8, 9 and OSX 10.9 and higher. 

Advantages of Swift over other iOS programming languages:

1. iOS apps developed in Swift are much faster and show better performance as compared to other programming platforms.

2. iOS apps development process is faster on Swift comparatively.

3. Testing and optimization is very easy in Swift. 

Swift's new features:

1. With Playgrounds and Real-eval-print loop (REPL) features apps debugging has become very easy in Swift.

2. Swift comes with many bugs fixes and improved memory

3. Swift also supports Generic and functional programming patterns along with Closure with function pointers.
