Swift on Rails, who's first :) ?
I suspect Heroku are working on preparing for an out of the box build pack, but I guess they don't have access yet since it's out late 2015. At least I hope so, looking for a better Ruby replacement but I still like Rails.

You should look at Elixir and Phoenix (http://www.phoenixframework.org/).

They should call it Swift On Sails.

Haha, yeah though Sails is also a Rails like framework for JavaScript
I guess it was either that or Jails
Please don't, or googling "Swift Sail" won't find me Wind Waker results anymore.

I never considered this! But it's fun to think about!
I'm a bit naive about the environments languages have to run in... but if we have a web app framework in Swift, Servers in swift (as mentioned in comments above), and iOS in swift, doesn't that make Swift a JS replacement too?

JavaScript's domain is mostly client side web browser scripting, and no language is close to throwing it off its throne. So no, JavaScript will always have its place.
