About Swift

Paradigm

Object-Oriented, Functional

Execution

Compiled

Typing

Static

Null Safety

YES

Memory Management

Automatic Reference Counting

Swift is a powerful and intuitive programming language developed by Apple for their ecosystem. It features safety mechanisms including optionals for handling nil values and automatic memory management through Automatic Reference Counting. Swift's concise syntax and modern features make it ideal for developing applications across Apple platforms.

Benchmarks

This benchmark tests how fast a programming language can perform mathematical computations without any I/O or memory allocation. We are using the Leibniz formula to approximate the value of PI.
Please note that the memory usage also includes the memory used by the HTTP server. Ideally, the most lightweight HTTP server should be used to measure the raw memory usage of the runtime.
