It also checks syntax, variable references, and types, and warns about common JavaScript pitfalls; IBM Swift Sandbox: Write & test Swift code in your browser. The IBM Swift Sandbox is an interactive website that lets you write Swift code and execute it in a server environment – on top of Linux! Each sandbox runs on IBM Cloud in a Docker container.
