Swift:
Starting a new project

How to: 

import SwiftUI

@main
struct NewProjectApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
    }
}

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("Hello, new project!")
            .padding()
    }
}

// Sample output:
// Displays a window with "Hello, new project!" text.

Deep Dive

Back in the pre-Swift days, Objective-C ruled the roost and starting a new project involved a bit more boilerplate. Swift, however, refined the start-up process with neat features like the @main attribute, which identifies the app’s entry point. Compared with tools like Xcode’s templates, Swift simplifies mundane tasks so you can jump straight to the fun part – bringing your idea to life.

As for alternatives, you might go for a command-line tool or a server-side framework if you’re not making an iOS/macOS app. Implementation-wise, Swift’s approach is about minimizing initial complexity. The ContentView represents the UI’s starting point, while the WindowGroup handles the window management.
