Is this the reason IBM stopped its Swift on the server endeavors?
- smoldesu 5y agoPossibly one of them. Swift has just generally had a confusing, lopsided development cycle that has made it extremely hard to build larger/more-abstracted systems on top of it. I'm not quite so sure what breakage looks like these days, but the language only got null-checking a few months ago. I do hope they lay out more groundwork before making the push to non-Apple platforms.

- user-the-name 5y ago> but the language only got null-checking a few months ago Are we talking about the same language?
- Zababa 5y agoThere are a few things here https://www.infoq.com/news/2020/01/ibm-stop-work-swift-server/ https://www.infoq.com/news/2020/01/ibm-stop-work-swift-serve.... From what I remember when it was announced, the small ecosystem was mentioned, but not the performance.
