Swift on Server
I've been working with Swift on the Server for over eight years now, and continue being amazed by the rapid growth of Swift. As both a language and an ecosystem, year after year we're making big strides.
My dream of Swift becoming a true cross-platform alternative for C and C++ is increasingly becoming a reality. It's therefore of no surprise to me that a viable SwiftUI-like library for Gnome would come to life.
Alongside Apple's increased efforts on supporting Swift Web Assembly and Embedded Swift, the future is looking bright!

Many Swift developers are struggling to understand the ins- and outs of structured concurrency in Swift. This article is part of a series of posts that gets you up to speed with everything you need to know on this topic! Get yourself ready for Swift 6, and dive in!
Continuing on the Structured Concurency theme, Matt Massicote has written a great article going into isolation in Swift. Isolation is such an important topic going into Swift 6, that this is a must-read!
When you're coming from a C++ background, Swift can be a radically different world. This new 6-part series by Doug Gregor, member of the Swift Language Steering Group, is a great introduction to using Swift.
Joakim Hassila has posted ordo-one's reflection on the Swift forums. It's a great read that outlines their reasons for using Swift, the successes they've had with Swift, and some improvements they'd like to see in the future.

Sebastien and Joannis have ran the first quarterly SSWG-organised online meetup on Server-Side Swift. Having taken place on April 24th, we're continuing to see the community grow. There was a lot of interaction in the chat, before and after the event. We're looking forward to seeing you the next edition.

Benchmarking is important for any performance-critical code. Be it a web-framework, iOS app or SwiftNIO itself. This package by ordo-one provides a super easy way to benchmark your code, compare changes against a baseline and get thorough output. This package was featured on Swift.org for a good reason, well deserved!
