Java EE vs Swift: What are the differences?
Developers describe Java EE as "The standard in community-driven enterprise software". It is developed using the Java Community Process, with contributions from industry experts, commercial and open source organizations, Java User Groups, and countless individuals. It offers a rich enterprise software platform and with over 20 compliant implementations to choose from. On the other hand, Swift is detailed as "An innovative new programming language for Cocoa and Cocoa Touch". Writing code is interactive and fun, the syntax is concise yet expressive, and apps run lightning-fast. Swift is ready for your next iOS and OS X project — or for addition into your current app — because Swift code works side-by-side with Objective-C.
Java EE and Swift can be categorized as "Languages" tools.
Swift is an open source tool with 48.4K GitHub stars and 7.76K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Swift's open source repository on GitHub.
According to the StackShare community, Swift has a broader approval, being mentioned in 994 company stacks & 541 developers stacks; compared to Java EE, which is listed in 11 company stacks and 9 developer stacks.
