[swift-evolution] [Announcement] Godbolt Compiler Explorer adds Swift support

[Michael Ilseman]

This is really cool! I second Jacob’s request for nightlies. 

Many things in the Swift compiler are architected similarly to Clang (inspired by Clang), so hopefully any features the explorer can do for C++ it could do for Swift as well. The swift compiler dump ASTs similarly to Clang with e.g. -dump-ast. I’m not sure what “Show optimization output” is supposed to do, as I can’t seem to make it work even for C++ using Clang, but swiftc also supports emitting SIL and LLVM IR.
