Supplemental curator note

We selected Swift as a systems programming language rather than only an Apple application language: it combines native code generation, C interoperability, and Linux toolchains. Everyday users should rely on released toolchains, while compiler development requires the multi-repository llvm-project and swiftpm setup plus substantial build resources.
