And with async/await, server side Swift is really nice now. The old stuff with eventloops and SwiftNIO was painful. Now it feels almost like writing Python, only with a real type system and not slow.

  Has Vapor fully shifted to async/await ?

    Yes! And it's fantastic.

  I stopped using Swift before version 5, and async/await was always something I missed there and a big reason I liked Javascript. I can't believe how much developer time was wasted on promises and callbacks in so many languages. Good that Swift has async/await now.
