[Swift-devel] Try the "TrySwift" pre-release snapshot

[Michael Wilde]

1. When you hit "Execute" on the initial window (containing just a comment, no executable statements) Swift hangs :( and the user never gets a response.

Lets at least add this to the initial text:

  tracef("Hello, Swift World!\n");

(and fix that bug...)

2. Can we make it respond faster to trivial programs? Maybe we need to move the swift command itself to a non-VM, or perhaps can tune up the swift command a bit?
