The Swift programming language is now available for Windows. You can download it for free and start programming.
Swift is an open-source, general-purpose programming language suitable for systems programming, applications for cell phones and desktops, even for cloud services. Apple, the company behind it, has announced that an early version of Swift is now available for Windows 10. This means that the tools, such as the compiler and core libraries, are all available for the Windows 10 operating system.
Swift libraries allow developers to write powerful applications with ease and without having to worry about many of the details of the underlying system. With these basic libraries and Swift's flexible interoperability with C, it is possible to develop applications in Windows purely from Swift, taking advantage of the existing library body on Windows platforms.

The Swift programming language was first announced by Apple at WWDC 2014 as a modern language that would eventually replace Objective-C as the primary language for building applications for Apple platforms. Apple has since let the language run as open software and has distributed tools for it distributions Ubuntu, CentOS and Amazon Linux, macOS and Windows.
You can download Swift for Windows from the Swift Project website.
