I think this is a very bad sign. Not necessarily because of Kitura (as others have mentioned, Vapor is more popular and quite active), but because IBM was the only major company that was at least somewhat invested in improving the server-side Swift ecosystem. Clearly, apple can't be bothered to fix some of the more serious issues with Swift on Linux. Just look at the kinds of discussions that e.g. Ian Partridge has contributed to: https://forums.swift.org/u/ianpartridge/summary https://forums.swift.org/u/ianpartridge/summary It includes substantial work on Docker images, logging, crash debugging, etc. Maybe google will become a bit more invested in the Swift on Linux side of things, but so far I haven't really seen them invest in the ecosystem (besides pushing differentiable programming, which is cool, but it's mostly satisfying a niche requirement).
