Any particular integration you're looking for? Out of the box it supports MySQL & Postgres but it's fully compatible with any external libs built on SwiftNIO, which is the de facto foundation for most Swift server projects.

Oh I think Vapor is super powerful, feature packed, and the team has done an amazing job building up and maintaining over the past few years, especially when swift on the server was just getting on it’s legs. That being said, after buildin

Exciting stuff. With async/await landing last week and the leaps and bounds of the package manager over the last couple years, the ergonomics of using Swift for non-iOS work has gotten significantly better. Coupled with the built in sa

This looks really great, Kenneth! I was actually just investigating this last week; didn't see Swift support yet but I'm eagerly awaiting it ;) I've considered building some tutorials for a backend framework I was working on,

Sounds like they are considering adding back support, but personally I'm a bit surprised that isn't set in stone since these are some game changing features. Does sound like there would be a lot of technical limitations to adding

Yeah I 100% agree that the tooling is not there outside of macOS. That being said, it started as geared towards iOS/macOS & even so there have been decent cross platform wins (linux compiler support is pretty solid, SPM). I hope th

Exactly, type erasure has always been a giant pain for Swift but the team has short term plans for obviating it soon. I think sometimes people forget that Swift is still a relatively new (late 2014, ~7 years old) language. Given its scope a

Definitely agree that doing this per month per citizen would be infeasible, though an interesting alternative is doing a negative income tax. Effectively UBI but declines as the person makes money. Some rough calculations: In 2019 there wer

Glad you think so! I'm hoping that simple docs coupled with the recent leaps and bounds of the swift server team and package manager (as well as incoming async/await) will make Swift on the server a much more appealing choice for
