#4I started a Swift Cookbook a couple months ago. I've got a section on Strings and Arrays.

I could throw up Dates and Dictionaries over the weekend. There's a Playground switch so you can copy-paste the text as a working Playground:

Why would there be a Mac version ? Xcode Playgrounds do that job for you.

In practice, nobody is seriously writing Swift code (or any other code) on iOS devices. My meaning was I don't understand why this is an iOS app instead of a Mac app or even a web one (like IBM's Swift sandbox[1]).
That being said, I'm kind of impressed someone managed to get an app on the App Store that can do this. I know that Apple loosened its restrictions on code execution on iOS a while back, but as far as I am aware there's no way to compile Swift on ARM… did they write their own compiler/runtime or something?

Not a crazy question, but I'm guessing it's so users can feel comfortable learning Swift wherever they are. Yes, it's true that you should be on Xcode for serious development but I'm guessing this is aimed at the user who has never coded in Swift before.
