[swift-users] Getting existing Objc to work with Swift on Linux

[Tom Sheffler]

GnuStep on Linux works well, even though the compilation and installation can be a little bit challenging.  I spent part of December doing just that.  The GUI support isn’t so good (I’d avoid that), but Blocks, Dispatch and ARC and @properties all work well together, and Foundation works fine.  (or at least the bits of it I’ve used).
