On: Advent of Swift

[antman123]

why don't you try swift on server?

As someone wanting to play around with it - is Vapor still the framework people recommend, or is Hummingbird the new hotness?

My understanding is they both have their strengths. If you want to build everything yourself, Hummingbird seems like the way to go but Vapor is more batteries-included.

Lots of reasons. The biggest one, is that I write stuff that needs to host on the most basic servers out there -usually cheap-ass shared LAMP hosting.

It’s no big deal. I don’t really do much backend work, so PHP is fine for that.
