Component Pascal vs. Java vs. Lua vs. Swiftify Comparison Chart

The Java™ Programming Language is a general-purpose, concurrent, strongly typed, class-based object-oriented language. It is normally compiled to the bytecode instruction set and binary format defined in the Java Virtual Machine Specification. In the Java programming language, all source code is first written in plain text files ending with the .java extension. Those source files are then compiled into .class files by the javac compiler. A .class file does not contain code that is native to your processor; it instead contains bytecodes — the machine language of the Java Virtual Machine1 (Java VM). The java launcher tool then runs your application with an instance of the Java Virtual Machine.

Apple rolled out Swift in 2014 to replace Objective-C. There are still plenty of apps and projects that use Objective-C, and developers are faced with the prospect of either starting again from scratch or attempting to convert them to Swift. Swiftify for Xcode automates the conversion process, handling the task of replacing the syntax while letting you focus on the other aspects of project migration. As the name suggests, the service can be accessed directly from Xcode's Editor menu. You can convert a code selection or a whole file. You can paste Objective-C as Swift. It's also possible to convert files directly from Finder without booting up Xcode. Select the files and start the conversion from the context menu. Finally, the Advanced Project Converter app included in Swiftify for Xcode is designed to help you manage an entire project. It lets you explore the project in a dedicated UI and select files to be converted. Processed files are automatically added to the project.
