What do you think about server-side Swift?
I'm curious if anyone has played with Alchemy.

Swift Syntax and Structured Editing Library
Exciting stuff.
With async/await landing last week and the leaps and bounds of the package manager over the last couple years, the ergonomics of using Swift for non-iOS work has gotten significantly better. Coupled with the built in safety and elegance of the language I think that, especially for server work, Swift is a very attractive option.
Shameless plug; for these reasons I built a [Swift web framework for fullstack iOS development](https://github.com/alchemy-swift/alchemy) that we've been using it at my company while going through YC this summer. It's been very powerful to have mobile and server in the same language and codebase and has helped us (native iOS backgrounds), move quickly.
```
There’s also a bunch more examples of APIs around QueryBuilder, Caching, Jobs, Queues, Redis, Commands, Authentication, Middleware etc[1]. And everything will be converted to async/await in the coming days.

Why I selected Elixir and Phoenix as my main stack
My first option other than PHP was using Swift and Vapor. I have made some projects with iOS and Objective-C, maybe I could also learn Swift and create both native iOS apps and backends with the same language.

Cheapest iOS <-> database architecture?
You could learn Vapor, I created a tutorial series for this, you write the backend API in Swift, rather than needing to learn another programming language
