Server-Side Swift from Scratch

- veidr 9y agoThanks for posting; hadn't seen that one before, and it looks interesting.
- Ethcad 9y agoI wish them the best! I really enjoy Swift, as it takes the best of concise, "dynamic" languages like Python and adds a static type system and a smart compiler that catches lots of errors. Really a much better choice than Ruby in a lot of ways. Now if only the machine learning community would take notes...
- abalone 9y agoI'm excited about server-side Swift (nice language, nice memory management model). But it would have helped to mention the other frameworks like Perfect or Kitura and compare/contrast the motivating principles here. Unless I missed them?
- crystalmace 9y agoIf you read the transcript you'll notice that they are mentioned, along with Vapor
- veidr 9y agoWell he does briefly mention the three best-known frameworks for server-side Swift (Vapor, Kitura, and Perfect) in the middle of the piece, when he talks about middleware. But I think the thrust of this piece is eschewing currently-available frameworks and rethinking what we have come to think a "web framework" should do, and doing those things with a interchangeable plain-vanilla Swift approach, a sort of "Swift-is-my-framework" approach. (I might be missing something, though, because I've only skimmed the post and added it to my read-later list...)
- chmaynard 9y agoNice presentation! I'm going to look into attending this conference in the future. I hope the developers (Brandon and Stephen) comment their code really well so that others can understand the types and operators they introduce without digging through the codebase.
- xchaotic 9y agoI'd be even more excited about server-side Scratch ;)
