What is Swift?
Swift is a robust and intuitive programming language created by Apple for building apps for iOS, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. It’s designed to give developers more freedom than ever. Swift is easy to use and open source, so anyone with an idea can create something incredible.

Benefits of Swift
General Facts
Native language
Swift unlocks the full potential of Apple products and allows you to use all available features. With Swift, you can implement any given product on any Apple device.
High speed
Its main advantage is speed and performance. Apple claims the language is 2.6 times faster than Objective-C and 8.4 times faster than Python 2.7. For some algorithms, it outperforms C++. Due to the high speed of code execution, applications on Swift work quickly.
Clear code
Swift is a language with a simple and non-overloaded syntax. This makes the code easier to understand. The creators of the language are constantly trying to make it more understandable. This saves a huge amount of time when expanding the Swift development team - it is easier to understand the implemented code and there is less chance of making critical errors.
High security
Thanks to advanced memory management, Swift is more secure than Objective-C and prevents unauthorized access to data. It more accurately tracks programmer errors, so the risk of subtle but critical bugs is reduced.
Technical facts
Multi-paradigm
This means that the language is suitable for different programming principles: functional, object-oriented, imperative. When developing applications, it is important to adhere to paradigms that help all developers on the team follow the same principles. As a result, better understanding and fewer bugs when connecting the modular parts of the application.
Static typing
A variable is assigned a type for the duration of its existence. If it contains a number, then it will not be possible to write a string or an array to it.
Optional type declaration
You can declare a variable and not specify its type directly. The compiler will understand it according to the data that will be written to it. If you create a variable A and immediately assign the value 10 to it, it is automatically treated as an integer.
Automatic memory management
The Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) system allocates, consumes and clears memory itself. The programmer does not need to monitor it. A memory leak is a very critical bug in any software - it can lead to system failure after a certain number of data cycles. This technology eliminates memory leaks.
Management
Dedicated manager
Each project is assigned a responsible Project Manager, who participates in the collection of requirements, the process of creating a technical specification, the development of each stage, QA and stabilization.
The manager is your friend
Each project manager has the main goal - to make the client happy through a high level of understanding and communication. You can share absolutely any idea and thought with the manager.
Agile methodology
One of the most important tasks of a project manager is to control the delivery of a high-quality digital product - this is achieved through competent iteration planning, constant filling of the backlog and the use of custom task-tracking systems. The productivity of the team can be seen not only in the final product, but also in the figures of the reports.
