I would argue that Swift is not new any more, it is a mature language at this point and the first sentence of The Basics of Swift ought to reflect that 🎓🎉

We might also want to consider changing for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS app development. to all of Apples operating systems, Unix and Windows or similar. It has been quite some time since Swift got Unix and Windows support, the Swift Programming Language book ought to reflect that :).

to all of Apples operating systems, Unix and Windows

I suggest listing out the Unix platforms that have actively maintained ports, ie linux, Android and OpenBSD, so as not to give the wrong impression that other platforms like FreeBSD or OpenSolaris are currently supported.

This is ripe for going stale, so it might be good to give a coarse summary such as "Apple, Linux, and Windows platforms" with a link to the supported platforms page of Swift.org for people to dig into specifics.
