Undefined behavior is the enemy of safety, and developer mistakes should be caught before software is in production. Opting for safety sometimes means Swift will feel strict, but we believe that clarity saves time in the long run. - -**Fast.** Swift 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. There are lots of languages with novel features — being fast is rare. - -**Expressive.** Swift benefits from decades of advancement in computer science to offer syntax that is a joy to use, with modern features developers expect. But Swift is never done. We will monitor language advancements and embrace what works, continually evolving to make Swift even better. +## Tools Tools are a critical part of the Swift ecosystem. We strive to integrate well within a developer's toolset, to build quickly, to present excellent diagnostics, and to enable interactive development experiences. Tools can make programming so much more powerful, like Swift-based playgrounds do in Xcode, or a web-based REPL can when working with Linux server-side code. diff --git a/assets/stylesheets/pages/_landing.scss b/assets/stylesheets/pages/_landing.scss index eb6d4394c..d40bf37b9 100644 --- a/assets/stylesheets/pages/_landing.scss +++ b/assets/stylesheets/pages/_landing.scss @@ -1,27 +1,11 @@ -.why-swift-list { - list-style: none; - padding-left: 0; - display: grid; - gap: 1rem; - - li { - border: 1px solid var(--color-fill-tertiary); - padding: 1rem; - border-radius: 4px; - display: flex; - flex-direction: column; - - h3 { - line-height: 1.4; - font-size: 1.4rem; - padding-top: 0; - } - - p { - flex-grow: 1; - color: var(--color-secondary-label); - margin-bottom: 0; - } +.preamble { + font-weight: normal; + font-size: 28px; + line-height: 30px; + margin-bottom: 30px; + + strong { + font-weight: 600; } } diff --git a/index.md b/index.md index 501211c71..c682cd5ab 100644 --- a/index.md +++ b/index.md @@ -4,9 +4,7 @@ title: Welcome to Swift.org atom: true --- -# Welcome to Swift.org - -Swift is a general-purpose programming language built using a modern approach to safety, performance, and software design patterns. +
