Swift is a general-purpose, statically typed programming language created by Apple in 2014 as a modern replacement for Objective-C. It emphasizes safety, performance, and readable syntax, and is the primary language for building apps for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. Developers use it with Apple's Xcode IDE and frameworks like UIKit and SwiftUI to build native Apple platform applications.
