Now that Swift has been open sourced, wondering how difficult it would be to add swift support. Would love to help out

Codeine uses ClangKit to parse source code: https://github.com/macmade/ClangKit

ClangKit is basically an Objective-C frontend to libclang. That's how syntax highlighting, error reporting and code completions are implemented.

Looking at Apple's GitHub, I can see a swift-clang repository: https://github.com/apple/swift-clang

So it might just work out of the box by recompiling this version of clang into ClangKit.
