| Swift is the only language that scales from embedded devices and kernels to apps and cloud infrastructure. It’s simple, and expressive, with incredible performance and safety. And it has unmatched interoperability with C and C++. | |||
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Mainly got rid of "only language" because the first sentence above already establishes that it is a programming language- no need to restate it- but some people also felt "only" was an exaggeration.

@Lancelotbronner, I'd rather keep this focused on copy editing. As I noted above, I only made content changes to read better, and incidentally to tone it down in two places. If you want to make adjustments based on toning it down in other places, I suggest you open your own pull for that, as I'd rather not expand this pull further. |

Light edit of new front page copy, some of it matter of taste.
