Yuri,
I can’t say much right now, as the video is not available. And, even after I watch the video, I may still be unable to add anything to this conversation, as my knowledge lack a lot. :D
From what I understand, one could write server-side applications in any language. For web apps, it’s necessary to integrate said language with an HTTP server — through CGI, Apache module or whatever. Apache is pretty much standard. I tend to think “mod_swift.so” would be the best solution now...
Still, for something like WebObjects to be “ported” over to Swift, there’s a lot to be done. The Enterprise Objects Framework is what makes it so nice and easy to write WO apps and it is, by far, the larger part of the code base. And then there’s wotaskd, the database connectors…
I am sure I am missing something, but I don’t see where a programming language would help us. Even if it is incredibly better than Java, which is a whole different conversation, with very different opinions, I am sure. ;)
Still, hope springs eternal.
Cheers,
Flavio
