Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Is it possible/straightforward to have a webserver baked in to an iOS app?
In addition to what others have said, SwiftNIO is a possible low-level web server framework.

Apple Announces Full Swift Rewrite of the Foundation Framework
You could take a look a swift-nio (https://github.com/apple/swift-nio) which is a pretty high-throughput system. swift-nio does this using some reference-counted GC where it simplifies the code and doesn't affect performance. Otherwise, value-types are used which incur no GC overhead (unless they are copy-on-write, and backed by something that requires reference counting).
-
Are there any examples of major or highly complex software written solely or at-least primarily in Swift?
The UI and the Core are mainly written by Swift. The proxy server is powered by Apple Swift-NIO. Some critical parts (deal with low-level system APIs, high performant JSON Parser, de/compression, protobuf, BoringSSL,...) are written by Objective-C and C. For some parts that deal with Pointer, or C library, I continue using Objective-C since it's easier than using a bunch of Unsafe Swift classes (UnsafePointer, UnsafeMutablePointer, UnsafeRawPointer, etc)

Implementing Parts of the Swift Compiler in Swift
> Why should they? That isn't their target audience.
Because they need it?
Apple discontinued macOS server, i bet they use Linux in some of their servers
All their networking related libs are available and tested for Linux [1, 2]
Let's not forget that they package Swift for Linux, and now also for Windows [3]
Swift is crossplatform language (you not wanting to understand it doesn't change this fact), it's not a macOS framework

What is the simplest way to have local http server in iOS app?
I would look at NIO or something that uses it, like https://diamantidis.github.io/2019/10/27/swift-nio-server-in-an-ios-app
-
Update app from external source (maybe?)
i use swiftnio to spin up http servers. lots of documentation online. your app logic will be the same as ios but without swiftui and uikit.

Any tutorials you recommend for URLSession?
Depending on what you need, SwiftNIO might do the trick.
-
Is there a reliable swift package for running a tcp connection from an ios app ?
If you want something a little more robust for a low-level TCP connection, you can also use SwiftNIO.

Mixing Swift and C++
a : https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/main...
I wouldn't want to be the guy relying on this table advancement for this project. The fact that they're rewriting it in pure swift probably says a lot about the quality of the current approach.
b: makes absolutely no difference from a developer perspective. if you want to run threads in swift you're going to use gcd.
c: my take with all apple software tech has been to wait until they've dogfooded their own tech long enough to make it useable. Worked very well for me so far, thank you very much.

Apple Announces Full Swift Rewrite of the Foundation Framework
Correction: rewrite of PARTS of Foundation
There already was an open-source project to rewrite ALL of foundation, but it had stalled on the shores of having to re-implement everything:

Apple's Swift rewrite of its Foundation framework will be open source
The (shitty) old Linux implementation has been on GitHub for years.

There is no “software supply chain”
Sigh... The traditional argument is that every dependency is of the same quality and trustworthiness of the language Standard Library.
If I use the SL, then I should also have no problem using some lashed-up chimera that has a dependency hierarchy that spans three continents.
Like I said, I'll do things my way.
For the record, here's a peek at some of the "worthless" packages that I use in my own work: https://github.com/RiftValleySoftware
Also, for the record, here's the Swift Foundation Library: https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation
It has plenty of open issues: https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/issues
If every dependency chain can match these, yhen I'll be open to considering them.
As it is, I do use the occasional external package, but I'm picky.

Show HN: Particles – the URL contains the whole program code
Partly this is doable because although RFC 2616 specifies a max URL length of 2048 bytes, most browsers allow much longer, with Chrome and Firefox allowing at least 64k chars (that's what they'll display but it seems like more is happily processed), while Safari allows URL strings up to 2GB in size[1]!

What is missing in the Swift ecosystem?
Regarding your point #3, Swift does indeed have an open-source cross-platform implementation of Foundation. swift-corelibs-foundation

Is "import Foundation" always required in Swift code?
Foundation is open source and (mostly) works on Linux. What else do you want to see “opened up?”

Apple’s use of Swift and SwiftUI in iOS 15
Foundation is not the standard library of Swift. Swift has its own standard library that is bundled with the language on all platforms that are supported.
And Foundation itself isn't written in Swift, a good portion is written in C.
> A significant portion of the implementation of Foundation on Apple platforms is provided by another framework called CoreFoundation (a.k.a. CF). CF is written primarily in C and is very portable. Therefore we have chosen to use it for the internal implementation of Swift Foundation where possible. As CF is present on all platforms, we can use it to provide a common implementation everywhere.
