Swift 5: start your engines

With a name like 'vapor', I thought this was some sort of joke. But this looks like fun! https://vapor.codes. An example from that page:

  import Vapor
  
  let drop = try Droplet()
  
  drop.get("hello") { req in
      return "Hello, world."
  }
  
  try drop.run()

Hey, I'm using Vapor (in production). It's really great to work with and moving fast - feels like the early days of rails. There's a real technical advantage to having the brevity of swift (like ruby) but with the type checking of the compiler. I actually migrated this app from Node.js and it's faster and easier in almost every way (notably lack of 3rd party libraries).
