IIRC the compiler already has internal support for coroutines. Unfortunately, I think it will probably a long time before we get user-facing features like async/await.
> Swift and Swift package manager support on Windows
Swift works on Windows with all tests passing, though I imagine it's still a lot of work to compile and run (but I haven't checked).
> Swift Package Manager resources and run scripts
I agree this would be nice. Swift PM doesn't really give you much flexibility right now.
> Backtraces
Discussed in the article (section Swift Backtrace):
> This package provides support for automatically printing crash backtraces of Swift programs on Linux. Backtraces are generated by a builtin C library libbacktrace and demangled using a private Swift runtime call. We hope to improve the implementation by adopting SE-0262 when it is approved. We are also working with the Swift core team to discuss the benefits of merging this functionality into the Swift standard library.
> Faster/incremental builds
Swift has pretty good incremental builds, especially compared to the early versions. Compile times are way better than they used to be and are continuing to improve.
There's some long-term plans for concurrency: https://gist.github.com/lattner/31ed37682ef1576b16bca1432ea9...
