Porting Swift or Swift-LLDB to ESP32

Using Swift
1

Hi,

We are using development boards from www.PyCom.io (PyTrack, PySense, FiPy's...) to quickly test out new IoT-ideas ... and it work:ish quite well ...

One idea I have been pondering about is if it possible to port the Swift language to run on the Espressif-ESP32 that the PyCom boards them self run on.

They have modified: GitHub - espressif/esp-idf: Espressif IoT Development Framework. Official development framework for Espressif SoCs.
ESP-IDF Programming Guide - ESP32 - — ESP-IDF Programming Guide v4.4.2 documentation

To run MicroPython: GitHub - pycom/pycom-micropython-sigfox: A fork of MicroPython with the ESP32 port customized to run on Pycom's IoT multi-network modules.

So I was wondering, if it would be possible ... for fun sake ... to port the Swift-language to it?

And I'm thinking of GitHub - apple/swift-lldb: This is the version of LLDB that supports the Swift programming language & REPL. as it runs a REPL ... which looks to be the same thing they've done with porting MicroPython to it ... as it runs a REPL ...

I'm also very interested to know if this has progressed at all. I would love to learn my ESP32 programming using Swift :)

SwiftOnArduino looks pretty promising and seems to be updated frequently.

I'd love to write Swift on ESP32… is anyone else doing that?
