I used swift till 2.x, and it’s really sad that Apple missed the opportunity and didn’t wanted to promote swift outside their ecosystem, if they did that, for sure swift will be up there competing with nodejs, rails, go, rust, etc in the backend space, it was really new refreshing language. Because I stopped using it, I don’t know how much the language changed and how it compares with go/rust in terms of performance, I would bet that it is bear go performance at least, knowing Apple seems to care about it.
