xcode - Swift on Mac terminal -

formerly used freebsd , netbsd. code c on command line interface (cli) vim editor.

now using macos. used cli, when code swift on macos, opt console.

i've learned can code swift on mac terminal without installing xcode. can compile or interpret , run simple swift code on terminal.

so questions, swift on mac terminal have full features xcode or not? swift libraries included in mac terminal?

you have install xcode if don't plan use it, because installs swift toolchain.

on linux can install standalone swift (and of course can access linux libraries, not macos or ios ones) in macos have install via xcode (but don't have use xcode write code).
