What company is using Swift outside of Apple-specific development?

Arc, TBCNY's browser for macOS and Windows uses Swift [1] [2].

Their newer Dia browser which is meant to be cross-platform also uses Swift.

Doesn’t affect the validity of your comment whatsoever, but there was the attempt by the Browser Company to implement Arc on Windows in SwiftUI lol

Not a lot, but has absolutely no relation whatsoever to my comment.

Skip allows to "Build truly native iPhone and Android apps with Skip" so technically skip runs swift on android which is outside of Apple-specific development.

They also recently got open source from their closed source model prior from what I can tell
