IBM briefly did a "swift on the server" though at the beginning of 2020 IBM was no longer interested, but the page is still up. https://developer.ibm.com/languages/swift/

2016: https://9to5mac.com/2016/02/22/ibm-swift-cloud-kitura/

2016: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/swift-server/

2020: https://www.infoq.com/news/2020/01/ibm-stop-work-swift-serve...

You can run it in docker: https://hub.docker.com/_/swift

This was so predictable. I remember those articles, and thought "Gee, IBM doesn't know what they're doing, they're just jumping on random bandwagons"

Still waiting on Apple Silicon DB2 driver. Any day now, I know it!

Link to the recent post about house cleaning to remove 80% of IBM's website (though on Twitter not LinkedIn).
