+Swift is a general-purpose programming language built using a modern
+approach to safety, performance, and software design patterns.
+
+It is intended as a replacement for C-based languages (C, C++, and
+Objective-C). As such, Swift must be comparable to those languages in
+performance for most tasks. Performance must also be predictable and
+consistent, not just fast in short bursts that require clean-up later.
+
+It ships with its own LLDB.
