The first task should IMO be to file a bug against the upstream Swift project itself, they have to support Linux, glibc etc. on armhf and arm64. Then we can think about including Swift support in the Ubuntu SDK and maybe add any necessary pieces to our base system.

From a snapcraft point of view, if you point to an example project that would work on Ubuntu Core we would have no issues on adding support.

Apple provides tarball downloads of Swift for various Ubuntu releases:

https://swift.org/download/#releases

The code is open source under the Apache license. All that should be needed is to package this into an Ubuntu package. So perhaps this bug should have the needs-packaging tag.

A classic snap would be trivial if they publish binary releases. See the
go snap for a good example.
