Swift + libuv (powers async IO for Node.js)

• bsaul 11y ago
  Provided that swift was created for doing ios gui work, which i think deals a lot with run loops, i wouldn't be surprised if the first server side technologies we see with that language are based on event loops. Yet, after having tasted go channels, i can't help but think that it would be so wonderful to have the same kind of tool ( or even something closer to erlang actors) for concurrency along with such a fantastic language as swift... Anyone knows of people experimenting with those ideas anywhere ?

      Really cool ! Thanks a lot, i'll definitely watch that. Now all we need is a good db access layer, and swift could be a language of choice for web api development right now.
