What is Swift and why is it important that it's coming to Linux? For example, are popular OSX applications written in this language and will Linux users be able to use them?
Swift is apples newish programming language that is kind of similar to javascript or python, only the language is ported not the applications that are written with it because they aren't porting the lower level libraries that those applications would need.
