Since Swift is still a young project, there are still several opportunities for new functionality. This page lists some of the high priority tasks the Swift development team has. If you're interested in any of these (or other) Swift ideas, please jump into the [xmpp:swift@rooms.swift.im?join swift@rooms.swift.im] room and chat it over with Remko and Kev. Swift is a C++ project, so C++ proficiency is required, with either knowledge of or willingness to learn about unit testing (and ideally test-driven development). | ||
