I can't really see a reason to use Swift if you're not targeting Apple platforms.
I think between Nodejs, Python, Go, (and maybe Rust), I can't really see much of a compelling usecase for Swift on the server. Even if you're developing a server component for an iOS app, I don't think it really is all that common to share a core between the two.
- zepto 6y agoSwift is faster than all three of those. Vapor is now a very elegant framework, and very easy to use if you already know swift. I agree that it’s not a language to adopt yet if you don’t also target apple platforms. Primarily I disagree with you about it not being good if you are developing a server component for an iOS app.
