As the other poster has mentioned, IBM has put a lot of effort into server-side swift. Also Google is investing in Swift for Tensorflow, which means there is a team at Google who's job it is to work on the Swift compiler every day.

If you want you can use Swift on Google Colab right now:

A team that is lead by Chris Lattner, creator of Swift. Not bad!
