So funny that this came up today! I just had a developer reach out to me about whether we had a backend Swift SDK at my current company (stytch.com), or if we'd seen anybody else use us with Vapor.
Googled around to get some more context on Vapor's history and sure enough, found this thread from today.
Sounds like I should point him away from Vapor in your opinion?
- favorited 3y agoI'm not the person you asked, but Vapor hasn't had a major version change since 2020 (Vapor 4). Vapor 5 is at least another year out, probably more like 2 or 3. Vapor 5 is definitely going to be a breaking change, but that's not a bad thing. The current major version predates async/await, actors, Sendable, macros, move-only types, variadic generics, and lots of other language features. It's been able to adopt some in incremental releases, but it wasn't designed with those things in mind.
- vkoskiv 3y agoI don't have a valid opinion on the current state of Vapor - 2017 was a long time ago, and the people developing it have worked very hard to improve it in that time.
