I was going use it only if there there was an official Firebase support to do things the way they are done on iOS. What I want is to have a server app that communicates with with Firebase services to do certain tasks.
Doing this in Javascript(Node) instead, is very cognitively taxing for me. Mental models are different, so I need to “cool down” and start thinking in the other language when switching between app dev / back end.
Swift is so nice That i would rather do everything in it anyway but not having to switch mental models is the real reason.

I find swift to be the most enjoyable and productive language I’ve used so can relate to you there, for me personally vapor seemed a long way off though. Maybe you could try Go? Kotlin is also very nice.
