I tried under Arch a few months ago and found swathes of the standard library didn't appear to work, is this something which has been fixed?


AFAIK only the core language is fully ported, for the libraries ... it is a work in progress.


In other words it is useless currently.


Tell that to IBM that uses Swift in production. See IBM's Kitura open source server framework if you are interested.


They use a language without a standard library in production?


I'm sure you can find yourself the answer if you are really interested, here is an example: http://www.computerworld.com/article/3122994/apple-mac/ibm-s...

Or this one https://developer.ibm.com/swift/
