Do C# pleaseeee
Swift is love ❤️
Can you make a video on "How to research like a pro"
I appreciate this joke
Anyone else wanting to see LLVM in 100 seconds?
Was just going to write this!
Oh yes plz!

Comm of support.
I played around with Swift back when I used to use Mac and I have to say… Swift is the most sensible, sane and pleasant language I’ve ever used. Simple for easy beginner things yet gives all the features & efficiency you could want for serious applications.
Shame it doesn’t really exist outside of Apple’s ecosystem.
It’s getting there slowly, async/await and other new async features other languages don’t have were just added, as well as better Windows support, so I can see web servers becoming more popular in the next year or two once things catch up
@@randomizednamme even without async await, it's a great language. but the adoption rate tho, low
@@randomizednamme better memory management and generics improvements are on the way now too!
@@adlsfreund waiting for Rust-like ownership, higher kind types and opaque return types with specifiable associated types. And it would be good to get better specialization guarantees for generic types. Oh, and Vapor could really use a complete overhaul inspired by composability patterns seen e.g. in SwiftUI, but swift on the server isn’t really a big thing yet
Caveats: XCode sucks and the compiler sometimes takes minutes to spit out a mysterious segfault without indication what the actual problem was. But it’s not much worse than with other languages. And in return, you get a package manager for which you don’t need to learn another language - it’s swift!
"It uses automatic reference counting to manage memory automatically"
_proceeds to show memory that will never be released_

Thank you for covering Swift!
If I may add something here, in Swift structs are commonly used in place of classes. They are similar in terms of functionality, but each one has its own strengths and weaknesses. And also, inheritance is not really a common occurrence in Swift, instead people tend to write protocols - Of course, you can still make a class that inherits another, but writing with protocols makes your code more modular and composable! There are a lot of interesting and useful language features that cannot possibly go into a 100 second video, so I hope people will take more interest in Swift 🥳
Are protocols like interfaces in Java and C#? How do they work?
@@HDSQ i don't know java or c# but protocols allow you to add custom functionality to structs ,classes and other types that conform(implement) to certain specs that you can define in the protocol. If a struct conforms to a protocol it will gain the functionality implemented in the protocol. It is a very powerful tool which lets you extend and "inherit" functionality by simply conforming to a protocol. you can even create protocols for built in types like arrays etc. eg you could add a protocol to arrays to return all indices of a value in the array. and any array will have access to the protocol.... so long as the array conforms to the protocol ( eg. the elements would probably need to be identifiable; which is also a protocol)
@@HDSQ Yep, similar to Java interfaces. In Swift you can declare properties and methods that a conforming class/struct/enum etc must conform to. You can also create default implementations for these properties and methods like in Java.
@@iTsBadboyJay looks like Kotlin extension functions
You have successfully sold me to pick up swift, thank you good person on the internet.
Awesome timing, was recently giving Swift some thought, as my next unnecessary play thing 🤓
I would definitely recommend it!

Me too, “What should I invest my time in learning while leaving tons of unfinished side projects?”. Swift was one of the options, so I guess Swift it is.
@@nabil-hh1yv wtf is this
Same here...
Swift is really underappreciated as just being a good and modern programmming language
The issue is that one needs a mac inorder to build native iOS apps
@@tanaykamath1415 yeah thats stupid. I use linux on my main pc arch btw but use an iPhone as my main mobile device so I cant really develop apps for iOS. Also its really expensive. I guess its just the apple way of doing things

Great video 👍
A small detail is that at 1:25, it should be “colon” instead of “semicolon”
thanks, watched that part five times thinking I was missing it
yeah i too noticed that
Swift is amazing! Some more terms to research would be: Protocol Oriented Programming (Protocols), Structs in Swift, If Let syntax. There’s more but those are the first ones I thought of. Also, through the Swift Evolution process, more development is always being done to make the language more powerful and easy to use.
PLEASE make more videos on Swift! Maybe on the SwiftUI and UIKit frameworks? I love your channel and this has been my favourite video so far!
Swift is easily one of my favorite programming languages. It being protocol-oriented really helps as well
These short videos about languages and other things are golden.
Keep them coming 🤩🤩
Great language in overall, thanks for the explanation. It feels like i got more in this 100 seconds than me procrastinating the whole day

If your critical rendering path takes 100 seconds, you might have a performance problem!
The day Jeff makes repaint/reflow in 100 seconds is the day newbies will be able to steal my job, so no thanks XD
🤔
Exquisite choice of topics.
i know its a series, but this was the perfect opportunity to name the video "Swift, swiftly"
I'd absolutely love a full tutorial i've wanted to use it for a long time
Learning to code swift, from a nodejs, react background, and have to say, it truly feels like a language that Apple developed. It just makes sense.
XCode was also developed by Apple. And calling it shit would be a praise.
Obj-C is a bloody mess, and it was also made by Apple.
I guess you can see my point. Made by Apple doesn't mean good and sane.
@@mad_t lol, have you used android studio?
Swift is one of my favorite languages to write in, although I've only built like two projects with it and usually am using C++ or Java.
Thanks, Awesome content. The full swift tutorial would be amazing.
"Congratulations! Your app is now ready to seek approval on the apple appstore."
The main lesson 😂
C# please!
Please do Lua in 100 seconds!
And also Luau! (it was recently open sourced, (its a variant of lua but with types and many other useful functions including much more speed!))
@@artoshia roblox lua
The syntax is insanely similar to Typescript.
The swift “let” === js “const” definitely trips me up a lot
It's even more similar to kotlin
I was gonna say.
Also like Nim
@@thespacejedi it's rather the other way around, Kotlin is similar to swift
Thank you! 😊🧡 Your channel and videos are awesome
I love these "... in 100 seconds" videos! I would really like to see one on Nim as well!
Like this video a lot. Great work! ❤️
As always to the point.
Great content.
This was pretty swift, good job man!
one who has worked with Swift, I really appreciate how approachable yet powerful it is as a language. The syntax is clean and expressive, making it easy to read and write code. And the tight integration with Apple's frameworks allows for efficient development of high-performance apps. Swift has been a game-changer for iOS/macOS app development.
A more fitting ending might have been "..your code is now ready to seek rejection from the App Store" - since we know how particular and arbitrary they can be. Maybe not with code in general, but with app functionality.
first time saw swift in action. Seems so cool and easy to get started with.
If it weren't for Swift, I would not have even touched iOS development. Objective C is downright unenjoyable to look at
Great video!
I always watch your video to know about concept of any programming , thank for you making amazing video.
Since printing "greeting" has such difficult syntax in Objective-C, I now kind of wonder how a function that iterates through an object looks like.
Swift seems like the perfect high-performance version of JS! Amazing vid Fireship!!
It is. And Swift UI is insanely similar to React/React Native.

Underrated comment
I was waiting for this video!! 🔥
One of the best languages out there. I wish it were more popular outside of the Apple eco
wasn’t expecting this one but i am pleasantly surprised
1:02
i really like those file extentions that are actually longer than the file name itself
Wow! I thought I was watching an overview about the language not an actual comprehensive crash course. I am speechless.
The best part of Swift is protocol and extensions. It's pity that they're not mentioned in this video.
i love how seriously you say "multi paradigm language" every time :D
Amazing job as always! Can you do a "R in 100 seconds" video?
You should have mentioned procedures! They are pretty cool
Fireship literally explaining the full basics of any technologies within 100 seconds.💥
Swift really is a great language. My favorite to code in.
what a fantastic series. cheers
My man makes every language the best
watching this, I learned so much more about swift than in the past two days of trying to learn from tutorials 😨
A very nice overview!
Great video!
Could you do a Quasar in 100 seconds please?
This video is very useful, THANKS!!
Fireship can never run out of videos
What a coincidence!
I was considering learning swift for a lottie implementation on RN ios.
By the way, how about some JS animation library in 100sec?
Green Sock and Framer Motion would be great!
I think when only considering the syntax of Swift, it is a much more sophisticated version of TypeScript. On the other hand, being an iOS or a macOS developer using Swift is a totally different story. There are tons of APIs you need to learn, and sometimes you should need to read some C/Objective-C codes.
But I find the weakest part of this language is the size of its community. There are not many open source projects in Swift and sometimes you should implement your own or you must find alternative libraries written in C/Objective-C.
I think this is partly due to differing philosophies between JS and iOS communities. In the iOS world we try and limit the number of dependencies in an app to a small number as it can affect app launch times, not to mention library authors need to update them in a timely manner when Apple breaks shit. So we tend to avoid adding dependencies for small things if possible. This is becoming less true though so if Swift gets wider adoption outside of iOS then I can see this “improving”.
Outside of the Apple ecosystem there is a pretty vibrant Swift backend server community (see Vapor)
I like your videos very much. I would like to see some job guidelines ( specially remote jobs).
Thanks for coming Legend 🤤
Switft and Kotlin are so similar, wow!
damn good timing i was just thinking about learning swift but now i really want to
*Spring in 100 seconds*
I used to think that swift could only run on Mac. Thank you so much
please upload a full course of it pleaseeeeee
Thanks for the swift breakdown.
I really hope the language gains sole track outside of the apple ecosystem. I love it so much.
Finally, thank you, Jeff!
Report
As requested! Thanks!
I've been considering playing with swift for a while now. This video made it soo incredibly easy to get some grip. You made it seem incredibly similar to JavaScript which greatly helps take off some edge. I love how you explain things. Looking forward to a 'Beyond 100 seconds' with swift :)
cheers!
Programming language design variations across multiple languages (Swift/ES6/Rust/F#): var/const/let/‘let mut(able)’ and fn/fun/func/function
one of these codes can easily be passed as typescript… i’m actually baffled by how syntactically similar they are!
Clean syntax, very similar to Kotlin. Both mobile platforms (Android/iOS) have nice underlying development languages
Furthermore, Swift is much more Protocol Oriented., It uses protocols (interfaces) to extends the types of a struct/class.
It forces the usage of Structs rather than Classes. Mainly because classes are passed by reference. Hello again mutability.
You can also easily extends a built-in protocol by using extensions.
And if you want to make a backend application, KItura from IBM and Vapor are great tools to get started!
protocols = typeclasses
generics = polymorphic types
structs = product type
enums = sum type
I mastered swift in 100 seconds. Thank you
can you do a video on opengl/vulkan or their respective bindings?
Why doe this look like JS and Python combined?
Hmm i wonder why it looks like the two most popular languages on earth…HMMM HOW DID THIS HAPPEN HMMMMMM
Which software do you use to make your videos?
Well, Quasar can have a single codebase for Mobile(Andriod, IOS), PC(Windows, Mac, Ubuntu), and web browsers. I'd love to see a 100 seconds video for that.
i learned swift as my first language- now i pick up new ones dead easy
The video is very good but Swift has a couple strong points probably personally should get more spotlight on like structs which is a much lightweight approach for representing data, the new concurrency features with async/task, tasks, and actor model, protocol oriented programming allowing seem-less composition with extensions and type constraints. Those are strong points for me personally. Still great video though 👍
Swift has a lot of features, hard to fit into 100 seconds ;)
C# next please
Ok time to update git and resume ..

@@naahh4498 I didn't only say dark theme, I'm specifically talking about One Dark theme from Atom which you can see in all Fireship videos.
Thanks for the video, Jeff. I'm still waiting for the C# video, please.
Even if I am not a Swift developer, it feels familiar... Thanks for the video... 😀
Indeed, Swift is a very good language, on power with rust and go. Had it been for the language to be loosely coupled with apple, it would have seen better adoption on multiple platforms and environments.
> on power with rust and go
Largely depends on the context. Rust and Go are in different leagues of there own, e.g. Go would not be the language to implement a kernel.
> loosely coupled with apple,it would have seen better adoption on multiple platforms
Not sure I agree. If we look at Kotlin, which is not loosely but **largely** coupled with Android development, Stack Overflow Developer Survey shows Kotlin as more loved than Swift. In the same vein as Swift, Kotlin supports multiple platforms via its Kotlin Native via LLVM, the same compiler toolchain as Swift.
I think Swift is a very fine language, but I'm not sure if it innovates more than other languages, hence why it's stagnated in adoption outside of iOS.
@@naltun4702 The Swift developers do not prioritise multi-platform support, which is a design goal for Kotlin. That alone explains the difference.
@@naltun4702 Why do you think Kotlin is largely coupled with Android development? Kotlin is pretty popular for backends too.
The parts I like is the type safety, and the memory safety. Many common bugs in other languages don’t make it past the compiler here. With the addition of a sync await. It just got hugely better. There is still 1 surviving web backend that is pretty good. Great if you want nearly bulletproof middle wear.
So that's what REPL means...
Also, I love those picture-in-picture code snippets 🤗
I would love if you did Lua in 100 seconds!
awesome quality content!!!
I love Swift: use it daily. I think Swift developers need a Fireship joke-summary of Swift so we can laugh at ourselves. Especially because our once tidy, slick language keeps getting more esoteric than a Murakami novel.
I love your videos! 😍❤️
Wow never thought Swift would like so much like JavaScript, that's really cool
Hello, love your videos.
Can you make a video on laravel?
For a intuitive guy like me this sound so interesting better than any other coding language because easy coding language is actually more advanced if you really think about it.
Nice, one Steve jobs
Steve jobs didn't have any involvement in its development. It was introduced way after his passing.
Which font are you using in VS Code in this video?
I would love to see a video about D .
I will never write if (maybe == nil), but I appreciate you writing like that for those who are from C++.
I love Swift so much
