Summary
Google is adding server-side support for Apple's Swift programming language, a move that follows years of stalled efforts to make Swift viable for backend development.
Key facts
- Google is providing server-side support for Apple's Swift language.
- The effort follows a decade of false starts for Swift on the backend.
- Swift is now showing appeal for backend use, according to the report.
Why it matters
Developers who build server software may gain another language option, while teams already using Swift could extend it beyond Apple platforms. The shift could influence tooling and hiring decisions.
