Issue Description:

TOML is used by projects such as: Rust's Cargo (package manager/buildsystem) and Hugo (static site generator).

TOML has a simple (INI-like) format/specification, is easy to parse and is in my opinion an excellent format for things such as package manifests.

Comment by Kostiantyn Koval (JIRA)

The package manifest uses PackageDescription module. Because PackageDescription is written in Swift making manifest in swift is extremely simple. We don't need to do any extra mapping from TOML to Swift format.
As for me current swift format is extremely simple and readable. That's just my opinion.

Right. We believe there are substantial benefits to using the Swift based format.

We also intend to vend APIs for other tools to be able to work with manifest files, programmatically.

Were there specific technical requests you had here?

I agree with Swift manifest file. It is quite flexible, natural as well as extendable for the package manager.

Closing in response to lack of feedback, there wasn't any clear technical request here.

After using Swift more I can now see why using the language itself is a better choice. I can't wait to see what the future holds for Swift.
