Can we have the title changed to something more descriptive like “Swift on Windows passes full Foundation test suite”?

Because the title makes it sound like swift is soaring ever higher above other languages, though both swift and go are certainly growing quickly in adoption - someone could probably find metrics.

This is huge. Thanks for the hard work! I cannot imagine something as hard as multiplattform.

Swift is the kind of language that you can master the basics in a couple days, assuming you already know how to program.

It has some functional features built in too:
