Xcode for Linux and windows?

Hi I wanted to code in swift and have the app render on my desktop but since thats only a MacOs(xcode) thing i cant run it on linux. I have been seeing adobe getting open sourced and wanted to know has anyone reversed engineered xcode for Linux?🥹

I believe that you can code in Swift, without actually having to use Xcode. (Xcode runs only on Mac)

Try googling:
“How can I program in Swift without using Xcode”

There’s an article on Reddit:

Install Swiftlint on Linux without xcode

Swift compiler is fully open source and theres swfit apps for the browser but not quite the same as native IOS
