Okay, so I could merge this, but I need to know (since I've never used
cocoa, swift, or any of the apple stuff really):
* Are there breaking changes?
* Are they documented?
* Is it already running in the cross test or is that future work?
* Can this be exercised in the Travis CI build environment? (make check,
make cross?)
* Can I add swift support to Ubuntu Xenial and Artful?
* What minimum and maximum versions are known supported?
* Has the LANGUAGES.md file been updated?
* Has the build/docker/README.md file been updated?
* Is this supposed to replace the cocoa implementation? Should that be
removed?
I can make some of these changes as part of finalization. Thanks.

> Key: THRIFT-3773
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3773
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Swift - Library
> Reporter: Thomas Bartelmess
> Assignee: Chris Simpson
> Priority: Major
>
> We already have the option to generate Swift code in the Cocoa compiler,
> however large parts of the (Objective-C) Cocoa Library still depend on Cocoa
> and Objective-C.
> It would be good to have a native Swift library that doesn't depend on the
> Cocoa libraries.
> Design goals:
> - Fully compatible with the code that is currently generated by the Cocoa
> compiler (both Objective-C and Swift).
> - Ability to run on Linux
> - Pure Swift, no Objective-C code.
> - No dependencies on closed source apple libraries
> - Keep the same interface, so that the library is compatible with the code
> the current cocoa compiler generates
> - Better server support that the current Objective-C library.
> - Follow the new Swift packaging format to be compatible with the Swift
> Package manager
