I think open sourcing Swift was a good move. I see they have a Linux port already but no Windows port yet.<p>I haven&#x27;t tried it yet because my PC runs Windows 10 and I run Linux in a virtual machine that is slow and I could install Swift there but I want to learn how it works first and get an IDE or text editor that supports it. I&#x27;m currently using Atom in Linux.<p>I&#x27;m used to Classic Visual BASIC, C, Python, Java, and Ruby on Rails but haven&#x27;t learned Swift yet. I hope it can cross compile OSX apps as well as Windows apps as well on the Linux platform so it has some cross platform abilities.
