Swift Outside the Apple Ecosystem-InfoQ

在GMTC北京2018大会上，Mattt Zmuda 讲师做了《Swift Outside the Apple Ecosystem》主题演讲，主要内容如下。

演讲简介：

The Swift programming language was released by Apple in 2014. At the time, it was positioned as a successor to Objective-C for making iOS and apps. However, thanks to extensive contributions from the open-source community as well as companies like IBM and Google, Swift has expanded beyond the App Store into a variety of new applications.

In this talk, I will discuss recent and upcoming developments in Swift, and how they can be used for machine learning, web development, scripting, and systems programming.

Among the topics I’ll discuss are Swift for TensorFlow, Swift-NIO, concurrency, interoperability with language runtimes, and ABI stability.

Key Takeaways:

Discuss recent and upcoming developments in Swift, and what they mean for developers.

Understand why Swift is uniquely positioned to become an important language outside Apple’s development ecosystem.

Learn how to get started with Swift and contribute to its development.

Swift 编程语言于 2014 年由 Apple 发布。当时，它被定位为 Objective-C 的后继版本，用于制作 iOS 和应用程序。但是，得益于开源社区以及 IBM 和 Google 等公司的广泛贡献，Swift 已经超越 App Store 扩展到各种新应用程序。

在这次演讲中，我将讨论 Swift 中近期和即将发生的事态发展，以及它们如何用于机器学习、Web 开发、脚本编写和系统编程。

我将要讨论的主题包括 Swift for TensorFlow，Swift-NIO，并发性，与语言运行时的互操作性以及 ABI 稳定性。

关键要点：

讨论Swift近期和即将到来的发展，以及它们对开发人员的意义。
理解为什么Swift具有独特的定位，成为Apple开发生态系统之外的重要语言。
学习如何开始使用Swift并为其发展做出贡献。
