Swift lives only for macOS,iOS and besides those ecosystems does not have a solid and robust ecosystem to be used for anything else.

It's a shame but it for sure needs BigTech for it to be used anywhere else.

I still have hope Swift will break free like C# has. I hope one day something like Vapor or Kitura takes off.

If Swift was paired with smh like QT/GTK (could have replaced Vala) it would've been interesting.

smh?

"something"

Wouldn't that be smth and smh is "shaking my head"?

I'm not a native English speaker, just interested in the vernacular.

I guess what Swift misses compared to C# is enterprise usage.

I take what I said back then. I hope Swift never breaks out and is spared the fate of enterprise usage.
