Do you really think Swift 3 is ready for enterprise usage? They say the core lib is not ready yet for production usage[0]. It's not about how may breaking changes I'm willing to take but in the enterprise world there is little incentive to rewrite large code bases. Even in the start-up environment the more code you write the less excited you are about breaking changes. Also Xcode doesn't run on Linux or windows and last time I've checked MacOS was not the the OS of choice in the enterprise world so Xcode is not an option. Next claim I'm expecting is that Swift is ready for the InSight Mars lander mission.

- melling 10y agoI haven't used Swift on the server yet, so I can't honestly say. I'll give it a try soon. However, it's probably best for devs who are already using it for apps (code reuse, experience, etc). For other dev, I might try Elixir, for example, for web dev. It is gaining a lot of momentum. A critical mass in adoption means better support, quicker answers to questions, etc. We all can't pay IBM to worry about the details.
