Darren Mo commented on THRIFT-3773:
-----------------------------------

This is really great! What is the current status of this Swift language binding?

Very anxious to start using Thrift with pure Swift! I will try to help if I can. :-)

> We already have the option to generate Swift code in the Cocoa compiler, however large parts of the (Objective-C) Cocoa Library still depend on Cocoa and  Objective-C.
> It would be good to have a native Swift library that doesn't depend on the Cocoa libraries.
> Design goals:
> - Fully compatible with the code that is currently generated by the Cocoa compiler (both Objective-C and Swift).
> - Ability to run on Linux
> - Pure Swift, no Objective-C code.
> - No dependencies on closed source apple libraries
> - Keep the same interface, so that the library is compatible with the code the current cocoa compiler generates
> - Better server support that the current Objective-C library.
> - Follow the new Swift packaging format to be compatible with the Swift Package manager
