Using Swift for Scripting
Yes, swift CLI will compile and run your swift file.
But many people also want to use libraries. For Python, they use the system libraries or work within an environment with installed libraries (i.e., the library-install process happens at environment-configuration time).
In Swift, the easiest way to consume libraries is using packages, but that requires a Package.swift declaring the project scope for the script file (which must comply with top-level and main-entrypoint code requirements).
The easiest way to do that when scripting is a swift tool that manages the process of gathering your library dependencies, auto-generating a project, building the tool, and caching it all so there's no overhead the next time.
The best available tool now is https://github.com/mxcl/swift-sh. It reads dependency information off import comments.
It can also generate the project for you, if/when you want to build in XCode (e.g., move into a more complex application, perhaps requiring sandbox declarations).
Working scripts are not always updated, so any script-build tool has to maintain backwards compatibility, but the swift package manager has changed a lot in recent versions. swift-sh seems to err on the side of backwards compatibility, and does not support e.g., the most recent dependency versioning styles.
Swift-forum discussions about better support for scripting haven't resulted in any official tooling.

Did anyone tried to run swift on raspberry pi before? I managed to install swift on my raspberry pi and print hello wold. Butbwhen i tried to do the same after 10 seconds it didnt work. Any idea why it didn’t print? DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 10) { print(“Hello world”) }
Note that this has nothing to do with the Raspberry Pi. You'll have the same issue running on the command-line. If you wish to test your programs on your computer where you have more tools and horse-power, I find swift-sh gives a good command-line experience and is a great alternative to Playgrounds especially for small tests.

Atuin – Magical Shell History
Atuin is lovely, although I found some of its defaults pretty annoying until I changed them:
- It turns out I basically never want fuzzy search through my command history, and certainly not by default. I gave it a try for a couple weeks but it was very frustrating to be searching for a particular command, type in the exact prefix, and have the thing I was looking for hidden among hundreds of irrelevant entries. Solution: search_mode = "fulltext" in Atuin's config.toml
- Having a full screen pop-up appear whenever I hit up was really jarring, especially since I have a habit of hitting up a few times when I'm at the command line thinking of what I need to do next, to sort of refresh my memory on what I was just doing; the popup very effectively destroyed that chain of thought. Solution: eval "$(atuin init bash --disable-up-arrow)" in .bashrc
These are pretty minor issues and it's possible my preferences are just different from most!
Atuin now works really nicely for me. My only outstanding issues are:
- Under mosh the UI ends up corrupting the screen; apparently this is really more of a mosh bug (no alternate screen support) and you can work around it by having tmux/screen running: https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin/issues/1324
- I still don't have a great model in my head of how sync works and find myself occasionally force-syncing across a few systems until I convince myself everything is in the same state.
- It would be nice to have some kind of settings sync so I don't have to make the config changes mentioned above on 10 different systems. Surprisingly I don't see a feature request for this yet so maybe I'll go open one...
Anyway I don't want these issues to stop people from trying Atuin – it's a really nice piece of software. I almost never make changes to the default environment so I consider it a testament to how useful it is that I've added it to all the systems I use regularly!
