Did they finish porting the core lib to Windows?

Foundation (the Swift Standard Library), Dispatch (the concurrency library), and XCTest (the testing framework) are all available and functional on Windows.

Does this help LiveView Native efforts?

(naive question)

I always found non-native apps too out-of-place. Please use Swift on iOS and Kotlin on Android.

Swift is just a programming language, I thought?

Yes.

Unless I am also mistaken, they are seeking to make a supported language to android development.

Which will save mobile devs having to learn two languages, and also allow reuse of code.

Kotlin multiplatform has been around for some time if you want that. But I guess it makes sense to be able to approach it from the other end as well if you're mainly an iOS shop.

Yeah Swift isn’t SwiftUI.
