Are you writing the solutions / compiling / running all with Emacs? I wanted to try Swift this year as well but feels sort of silly spinning up XCode for this.



You can use VSCode with a swift project created with the SwiftPackageManager (SPM). I find the experience to be good, with a good LSP support. I just have to sometimes trigger the build task for it to find newly defined objects.

That is if you have nothing against using VSCode.


Yep, on Linux, or WSL to be exact, I just use the internal shell though.
