[swift-users] Swift for students

[Kwame Bryan]

    IBM is doing some great work with a Swift REPL in the browser. I supplied a link http://swiftlang.ng.bluemix.net/#/repl <http://swiftlang.ng.bluemix.net/#/repl> Swift is a great starter language that grows with the practitioner. I’m also an instructor using Swift for intro to programming. 

Regards
Kwame
