I developed one or two server side apps using both Vapor & Kitura in late 2016 | 2017. the ecosystem though helpful isn't as vibrant as in other languages. if you care about shipping product i.e time to delivery vs language performance that matters a lot. machines are cheap, human labour and effort is not. with SwiftUI they're just bringing sanity around. otherwise screw apple for their closed ecosystem.
- ralmidani 6y agoI'm fairly new to Vapor, and not sure what the ecosystem was like 3-4 years ago, but it's possible it has matured a lot if the last time you checked it out was that long ago. I know Vapor's Fluent ORM has improved quite a bit recently, especially as it can take advantage of property wrappers introduced in Swift 5.1. It's not hard to imagine Fluent approaching feature parity with Rails' ActiveRecord and Django's ORM, but with much better performance and type-safety. FWIW, Kitura is probably dead in the water as IBM has stopped supporting it.
