From the time Swift was introduced on stage to the first public release, there have been many changes. This is mainly because Swift has been thrust into the limelight due to being an Apple technology. This has also added the pressure for it to become a mature language. There will definitely be changes in the way Swift works in future. So bear that in mind that the tools around it will reflect the dynamic nature of change. It is not only about Swift; other aspects such as the editor, storyboard, and the debugger could also start to reflect the new changes.
