Pretty bad. In my last company we tried to get server-side swift integrated into a backend microservice. While there is big-company momentum behind swift on servers, it’s always a second-class citizen compared to its own native platforms (iOS & macOS). After IBM stopped backing it, pretty much killed credibility in server-side swift. We switched over to Rust fairly early on, and we were glad we did. I think the realization was that client-side app engineering is just different from distributed back-end systems. On iOS, we have a very rich set of standard toolkits we can consume. So development is fast and streamlined. Battle-hardened. But with swift on servers, you’re reinventing the wheel for even the most basic things. So it may very well be a completely different language on the backend at that point.
