@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo you can use Swift without Xcode or Apple’s proprietary toolchain. The Swift compiler is open source, runs on Linux and macOS, and comes with the Swift Package Manager for builds and dependencies. You can develop CLI tools, libraries, or server apps with just swiftc and your editor of choice.

the catch: if you’re building iOS or macOS apps, you’ll need Xcode, since only it provides the SDKs, simulators, and signing tools.
