I'm running several Python programs (that feed a db) using Docker, running on Ubuntu containers. As these programs have little to no dependencies, I would like to port these to Swift programs (speed gains as a first win).
Now, I've had a paid Apple Developer account for years, but had stopped paying, so now just a normal Developer account.
Questions:
- Can I use Xcode to develop my Swift programs? Also without paying again?
- What target should I use in Xcode? I'm not developing for Mac?
- Any hints on the simplest skeleton I could use to start building from?
