Swift on Linux / on the server exists, but it's far from a pleasant experience.
I admit that I last worked with it in early 2020, but at the time there were numerous annoying open bugs with the Swift compiler on Linux (such as the installer messing with the Python path), and then there was the issue of divergence between Foundation (which is closed-source) and its Linux replacement. Meanwhile, the stack size for secondary threads was ridiculously low and there was no good story for fault recovery (because you don't want to crash your server if you accidentally access an invalid array index).
Maybe things have improved, but I'm doubtful.
