You can use swift on the server but what for? You have a gigantic ecosystems in languages X,Y,Z.
Even Apple does not use Swift on the server (AFAIK) so why would you?
- jen20 6mo agoI personally worked on several server-side Swift projects at Apple.
- isodev 6mo ago> Even Apple does not use Swift Exactly true - they've created all these "working groups" of open source / volunteers to care for Android / Server / Wasm / ... all while being constraint "as an Apple product". Of course the end result is crappy
- mathverse 6mo agoYea there is no incentive. Why use Swift on the server or in k8s when you have gazillion other languages that are performant and have the ecosystems.
- jshier 6mo agoWhat, of course Apple uses Swift on the server, that's the only reason they're investing in any of this. Many of the foundational Swift on the server libraries were written at Apple and later opened, like SwiftNIO.
- rTX5CMRXIfFG 6mo agoThat's outright false: https://www.swift.org/blog/swift-at-apple-migrating-the-password-monitoring-service-from-java/ https://www.swift.org/blog/swift-at-apple-migrating-the-pass... You could have easily fact-checked before forming an opinion, but at least the buffoon down there agreeing with you is worse

- unconscionable 6mo agoSmoking grass can also help with this
