A comment on Swift 4.1 Released. Parent comment
The set of libraries and supported OSes is a tiny dot comparable with the Go and Rust.
And they aren't even the most relevant for enterprise servers, Java, .NET, C++ are.
If we start listing the kind of libraries used in distributed applications, database backends, Swift has hardly none of them.
IBM is the only major company playing with Swift on the server and it remains to be seen for how long.
