Anton Blanchard announced in a recent blog post his initial port of Swift to Linux on Power. As you may know, Apple open sourced its new programming language a while back, and you can now start playing with Swift on Linux on Power. As Anton mentioned in his post, don’t forget to add this patch to your LLVM sources before building it.
If you need a Power system for Swift development, you may try the list I posted in my article about the IBM bounties. I personally recommend the UNICAMP minicloud. If you run into any problems, please let me know.
