If Apple has intrinsic care for Swift on Linux then let it be evident in their story or direction.

I can't speak for Apple, of course, but some indications of their seriousness are there. SwiftNIO is a cross-platform asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients.

  Still waiting for the day when import Glibc isn't a thing on Swift examples.

    Well, you can help make it come sooner… wink

      Why bother when F# already works everywhere where I care about, with better tooling support and the wealth of .NET libraries? I already have my share of platforms I care about.
