  • Rx.NET

    The Reactive Extensions for .NET

  • You don't have to use Combine (or RxSwift), but FRP is everywhere (see http://reactivex.io). And the toolsets are there if you need them.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Backend development? Two problems - not enough workforce - every Swift developer is iOS developer. Second - every not so mature framework on https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ is just so god damn slow.

  • swift-evolution

    This maintains proposals for changes and user-visible enhancements to the Swift Programming Language.

  • Async/await support that is totally extensible and can be used with any backend concurrency system, not just dispatch queues.
