I don't think Swift is a very good choice for the web - we already have much better options. Swift compiler don't care about memory leaks, runtime errors and race conditions. And it's really easy to get runtime error - just unwrap optional value without check.

So I think Swift is good for something what can run few minutes and be restarted easily in case of failure - mobile and desktop apps. Not web server daemons.
