SWIFT / Swift Playground App

I installed the iOS 10 Beta on my iPad today and just like mentioned at WWDC 2016, with iOS 10 we now have a NEW app called "Swift Playground" that allows users to start digging into programming in Apple Swift language. When I first saw the presentation about "Swift Playground app for iOS 10", I was totally mind blown. That is exactly what I have been asking for many years. A good coding app on iPad. Well, actually we are already able to do some coding on iPad and iPhone using 3rd party apps like Pythonista and Procoding (Processing, Python, etc). But now, we finally got the Apple official coding app built in for iPad. The app is using Swift iOS programming language, and Swift is a kind of nice blend of Python, Lua, and few other high level programming languages. Heard that many programmers are liking Swift, which is a good sign! FIRST TEST SWIFT PLAYGROUND Swift Playground app comes with some tutorials and I guess anyone will definitely start from here.
