Swift 3, 4, and 5 have been a wonderful development experience. Cleaner code. Easier to read. Easier to write. I love that the language is community driven

The language that never died and made such an unexpected coemback.

Xcode

Not my favorite IDE of all time, but definitely solid and always improving

Jenkins

Can be a pain as it's super configurable, but that's also it's strong suite
