- title: Interoperable
subtitle: Adopt in existing code incrementally.
text: Swift provides unmatched interoperability with its combination of natively understanding C and C++ types without the need for foreign function interfaces, and by providing bridging for bi-directional access. Swift’s interoperability features allow you to incrementally adopt the language into existing codebases without requiring a full code rewrite.

Swift is the only language that scales from embedded devices and kernels to apps and cloud infrastructure. It’s simple, and expressive, with incredible performance and safety. And it has unmatched interoperability with C and C++.

Mainly got rid of "only language" because the first sentence above already establishes that it is a programming language- no need to restate it- but some people also felt "only" was an exaggeration.
