Ahead of next week's ServerSide.swift conference in London, organizer and Swift server workgroup member @0xTim looks back at the growth of Swift as a platform for building server apps: https://www.swift.org/blog/swift-on-the-server-ecosystem/ @swiftserverconf

The Growth of the Swift Server Ecosystem

Nearly ten years ago, Swift was open sourced and an official runtime for Linux was released. I’ve been involved with Swift on the server since almost the very beginning, originally picking it up as a way to use a language I really enjoyed for backend development. In that time Swift has come a long way, with stability across platforms, a burgeoning ecosystem and many success stories. It’s matured into a great option for highly-scalable server applications, websites, and lambdas. In this post, I’ll cover how Swift:

Nice read on SwiftUI in production https://blog.timing.is/swiftui-production-experience-problems-solutions-performance-tips/ #iosdev #swiftui

Documented in the header file, but not in the docset.
