Swift at Apple: Migrating the Password Monitoring Service from Java

First the amount of Swift server apps has to grow to a number that is actually relevant for enterprise architects to pay attention.

Then I can start counting.

That is the reason I used percentages, rather than absolute. For Java, every single app I’ve ever seen has been a massive shit show. For Swift, 0 of the 40-50 I’ve seen are.

For Swift to be a shit show on Fortune 500 Linux and Windows servers, someone has to start shipping them in volume, regardless of percentiles.

Any language can be a shit show, when enough people beyond the adoption curve write code in them, from the letcoders with MIT degree to the six week bootcamp learners shipping single functions as a package, and architects designing future proof architectures on whiteboards with SAFe.

When Swift finally crosses into this world, then we can compare how much of it has survived the world scale adoption exposure, beyond cozy Apple ecosystem.
