Reference: Building Command Line Tools With Swift as my starting point on the writeToStd function!!

If you want to use swift as an alternative to shell scripts, then you don't really need that xcrun stuff. Only put the line below as the first line in the .swift file
#!/usr/bin/swift

and change the swift file to be executable
chmod o+x SimpleArraySum.swift

and you can run it directly
./SimpleArraySum.swift
