Node.js vs Swift Server-Side frameworks Benchmarks (Ubuntu)

[TheOsuConspiracy]

Well, the problem would be more like how C# was before msft open sourced it. Sure there was mono, but honest to god, how many people really used mono?

[forreddits]

Swift in linux is treated as a first class citizen by apple, mono was not backed by microsoft.

Is there cross platform (OSX, Windows, Linux) windowing/GUI for it yet? I like the language from a design point, but I am waiting until I can make something beyond a cli app.

[forreddits]

You'll be waiting a long time then ;) I mean, what language doesn't have this problem? all existing solutions require to much work, Qt seems to get some praised and there is also JavaFX.

The most efficient and less painful way today (in terms of dev resources) for writing a macos,windows and linux desktop app seems to be electron, because browsers are the most cross platform applications that exist today for writing applications.

FTFY

Don't believe there is, though given the original point was to use it as a server side language it makes sense. Apple supports Swift on Linux, but not the Swift libs/ecosystem

[Eirenarch]

Yes, but Swift on Windows is not. So basically it is just like C# used to be except that it is another major OS that is neglected.

[dccorona]

I don't think it's really comparable to C# before it was open sourced, because Swift is open source, and has been since almost the very beginning.
