What Hacker News says
8 sourcesSwift is most likely not ready for this until 3.0/SPM release, but once it'll be very competitive. Swift generics are very good and Go's are not. There's no language-level concurrency, but there's GCD and https://github.com/VeniceX/Venice
In Program your next server in GoDon't know about Python but someone did a similar thing with Swift: https://github.com/VeniceX/Venice
In Libdill: Structured concurrency in CI'm not sure if Swift really needs language-level concurrency support. As it stands, you can wrap any C library which provides some sort of concurrency and make it feel like native functionality because of Swift's syntactic sugar such as trailing closures. For example, I'm a huge fan of the library Venice[0] which provides CSP by wrapping libmill (single-threaded like libuv, uses setjmp/longjmp instead of callbacks unlike libuv), essentially providing a Go-level api without language-level support. Its what Zewo[1] is built off of, and what allows all of its api's to be synchronous without any extra effort.

In Swift Programming Language EvolutionCheck out VeniceX[1]. It provides Go-style concurrency. The same group[2] that is working on this is also working on a GCD based concurrency library but the name escapes me at this time.

In Swift 3.0 Release ProcessI've built a few simple apps running on Linux that have worked great.
Check out Zewo[1]. They've been doing a lot of great work to make Swift 3.0 on the server work really well. Also, check out VeniceX[2] for concurrency and Open Swift[3] for cross project standards[3].

In Swift 3.0 Release ProcessI don't have much experience, but I think the VeniceX packages from Zewo answer the concurrency issues quite well.

In Swift 3.0 Release ProcessThere is a cool project I found called Venice you might want to check out: https://github.com/Zewo/Venice
In Swift + libuv (powers async IO for Node.js)
