Swift is no longer an Apple-only language. It's used by both Apple and others for a variety of purposed, including Linux, Cloud, Embedded Systems and Android.

In this talk we'll look at the status of Swift on non-Apple platforms. We'll demonstrate what tools are available, what works great today and what you can expect to improve.

By the end of this talk, you'll be equipped to start your full-stack adventures in Swift.
