Swift Soars Ever Higher

Can we have the title changed to something more descriptive like “Swift on Windows passes full Foundation test suite”?

Why? That's the actual title of the posted article.

Because hackernews has a policy/history of editing titles to be more useful/descriptive and less clickbaity.

agreed, its also a forum post on Swifts corporate website, not an "article" per say.

Because the title makes it sound like swift is soaring ever higher above other languages, though both swift and go are certainly growing quickly in adoption - someone could probably find metrics.

Swift is also a bird. Someone is being playful with the title.

Swift on Windows is much needed.

I’m working on a Swift Cookbook on Github.

Swift is the kind of language that you can master the basics in a couple days, assuming you already know how to program.

It has some functional features built in too:

This is huge. Thanks for the hard work! I cannot imagine something as hard as multiplattform.
