https://vapor.codes/ brings Swift to the server and it's quite good! Wrap that in docker and you can be running Swift anywhere pretty quickly.

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.

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.

Has Vapor fully shifted to async/await ?
