If Apple invested just a little more in Swift's cross-platform story, I think it would surpass Rust for many use cases.

I prefer it, as a language, but it's just not ergonomic to write or deploy on Linux.

@noracodes i can say this much: they’re definitely *trying*. between the Swift on Server efforts, Embedded Swift, Swift Foundation, and the new musl-based Static Linux SDK, they’re definitely trying to target that use case. it’ll be cool to see how far they can take stuff like SourceKit-LSP for development outside of Xcode.

@noracodes (i keep thinking it would be really awesome if we could hook Swift-DocC into an LSP environment for rich docs lookup like we have in Xcode, but i have no idea what kind of investment that would take >_>)

@noracodes one of my teammates recently took some time to develop with just SourceKit-LSP and Vim, and he was pleasantly surprised by the experience, so maybe that language server is already pretty mature ️

@QuietMisdreavus I should try it out now that I have Neovim set up; it was janky with my old Vim setup, but that was not exceptional
