Three Reasons Swift is Ready for the Enterprise

Swift was launched by Apple in 2014 as a new programming language to which it was gradually migrating iOS to. By the fag end of 2016, Apple had declared that Swift was now open source and a thriving community was contributing greatly towards the improvement and growth of the language. Today, the language is used for systems programming, mobile app development and cloud services. The programming language is now poised to address the most advanced needs of enterprise app development. We discuss three reasons that show that Swift is ready for the enterprises.

1. Enhanced Productivity
To sum it up, Swift is cost effective, time efficient and secure as a programming language, that can be used, both on client side and server side for mobile and web development projects. Because developers can use it for client and server side development, integration of the front-end and back-end operations in simplified. Thus, Swift enhances  productivity by supporting cost control in development. Furthermore, the programming language comes with over 2000 ready to use packages in the Swift Package Manager, which reduces the development time by a great extent. Developers can take their existing mobile applications and easily create a dynamic backend, thus moving their code as it is between client and server tiers. Thus, they can optimise their applications for bandwidth, security, services access and performance.
2. Swift Developers Community
The thriving Swift developers community, with over 33,000 members on Github is testimony to the favorable sentiments of the developer’s community worldwide. The great demand generated for the language among clients has made it one of the top programming language skills sought in app developers. Also, with its foundation in C#, the language is very easy to pick up and execute, so many enterprises are willing to invest in training their in-house IT teams to internalise Swift-based development projects.
