Porting Swift to Haiku

the bare minimum it needs is an IDE that can be used to code apps for the OS itself. and after that being able to run all kinds of programming languages.

Personally i'd like to see the latest version of ruby work and postgres.

But also docker support would suffice too.

I'm pretty sure Haiku has exactly that already? Pretty sure it did last time I ran it...

Haiku has an editor. Perhaps that's what you're remembering?

Huh? Wouldn't the "bare minimum" be a programming editor?

Docker would be nice, but keep in mind that it would require running a Linux kernel in virtualization (Haiku has a POSIX layer but isn't directly Linux compatible). Still, if Macs can do it, there's no reason it couldn't work.

You can run Qt Creator, which I think is one of the best C++ IDE's out there.
