Apple is investing a lot in it, but Swift is much younger than Rust (especially as an open source project). There is a working group that meets every few weeks to shepherd the various projects. Most of the recent activity has been (AFAICT) about orchestration. Well, that and transitioning projects to use async/await and structured concurrency. Here's some recent activity in the Swift on server space: - the proposal for distributed actors is currently in-review (https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals...) - a metrics API for backends like Graphite, Prometheus, etc. (https://github.com/apple/swift-metrics) - HTTP/2 support for SwiftNIO (https://github.com/apple/swift-nio-http2) - a new service discovery API (https://github.com/apple/swift-service-discovery) - a new distributed tracing API (https://github.com/appl

e/swift-distributed-tracing) - a Linux implementation of Apple's CryptoKit API on top of BoringSSL (https://github.com/apple/swift-crypto) I'm not pretending that it's taking the server-side world by storm, but there is a fair amount of ongoing activity Personally, I'm using it for a couple personal projects and it's been solid, but I'm already a macOS developer, so it wasn't a big stretch for me to reach for it.
