https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/LanguageGuide/TheBasics.html
https://developer.apple.com/swift/

● Programming language for Apple products

● Type-safe language
● Static & Dynamic Dispatch whereas ObjC only Dynamic Dispatch
● Tuples and multiple return values
● Generics
● Structs that support methods, extensions, and protocols
● Higher order functions, e.g., map and filter
● Advanced control flow with do, guard, defer, and repeat keywords
● Enums can have payloads and support pattern matching
