When Apple open-sourced Swift, it created ripples throughout the development community, especially for those who wanted to extend Swift beyond the world of Apple devices. Fast-forward to today, and Swift is flourishing as a language for traditional Apple applications and server-side applications that run on Linux environments. It is now possible for developers to create end-to-end applications in Swift—one language for everything, from iOS clients to web servers.
