It looks like the 3.0 preview [1] was committed ~11 minutes ago.

I don't see anything on GitHub [1] yet, but it is on apple.com. An announcement coming soon?

It's not uncommon for Apple to have private branches that are merged back to their OSS projects after features/changes/devices have been announced -- it's been occurring a few times in LLVM and Clang-land. Taking a quick glance over the git history seems to point to commits referencing 3.0 though?

Just to clarify ... I meant I hadn't seen a commit tagged as a 3.0 release yet.

Curious are people using Swift only for iOS apps or are people using it also as a server language?

As long as Swift continues to have strong reliance on Apple, Swift on server-side will run the risk of being a second-class citizen. It's unlikely to have a well-established ecosystem of external developers either because Swift currently attracts primarily iOS developers. So, till Apple makes some moves to show that it considers server-side a first-class citizen, or you see a very obvious external developer ecosystem building for server-side Swift, I'd recommend not using it there.

Isn't swift-in-the-cloud backed by IBM?
