Is there any chance of Swift/Silver development tools for Linux? I would love to use Swift as a JVM language and my primary development system is Ubuntu. Even just Linux command-line compiler tools for JVM compilation would be a huge benefit,
The Silver compiler should already work in Linux, win Mono. We just don’t have an IDE for it (and that part won’t change anytime soon, I’m afraid). Grab the “Mac zip distro”, and the compiler should be usable from that, if you manually GAC and register it. We can look at providing an official Linux install script in the near future.
Thank you - that’s good news.
