Swift without Xcode - GUI EditionSwiftAustin 17-04-05

Use CasesLinux vs Mac

"I hate Xcode"

Remote Access

Possibly to Swift code installed in a Cloud

SourceKit"What is SourceKit?"

How do you get it?

With Xcode

From source (takes a while)

Now in Docker

SublimeOS X only for SourceKit

Could probably be made to work with Linux easier now

VS CodeSDE

Installable in VSCode

Setup scripts at https://github.com/felix91gr/swift-linuxSetup

Vagrant setup at https://github.com/SwiftAustin/LinuxSwiftGUISetup

OS X support tricky (see issue #33)

Development slowing down

AutocompleteVariable and method completion, context aware

Popup Type informationHover over a variable to get its type Matters more in Swift than in many languages

DebuggingIt’s a start, but does a poor job of following modules (#7) Console not hooked up, yet (#22)

Poor, poor substitute for Instruments

But, some GUIs

KCacheGrindHandles valgrind’s “CallGrind” tool

Looks for CPU usage and spikes

Valkyriememcheck tool

Better than text, but not by too much
