  How recent were your experiences?

  The server-side Swift ecosystem has matured over the past few years, with specific attention from teams at Apple.

  For example, regarding JSON, there has been a rewrite of the JSON encoder/decoder that results in a 200% - 500% speed up in deserialization! You can read about the (still ongoing) improvements to Foundation at https://github.com/apple/swift-foundation

  Regarding logging, Apple has been pushing the development of community around the swift-log package at https://github.com/apple/swift-log. Maybe you’ve seen this, but just wanted to share!

  One last thing: the Swift VSCode extension is actually really good! Not sure when you used it last, but I’ve been using it on a regular basis and it’s been great — and is only getting better. Here’s the link to the extension if you’re curious: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sswg.swi...

  It’s true that Swift has had its various issues, but there’s a very real push by the core team and community to bring the language to new heights and places. Cross-platform support is getting better and better (check out what The Browser Company is doing with Swift on Windows) and a big source of performance bottlenecks are being addressed with the development of non-copyable and non-escaping (Rust-like move-only types)!

  Sorry that’s a lot, but I just wanted to point out that there’s a lot of hope in Swift and really interesting things are happening for the project!

• Swift outside the Apple ecosystem?
  7 projects | /r/swift | 27 Apr 2023

  Also, Apple seems to be putting a ton of work into the Swift-on-server ecosystem. They've released packages for things like tracing, metrics, service discovery, logging, etc. And most of those are basically shared interfaces, and then Apple (or the community) will write backend implementations, like one for statsd which implements the stuff from swift-metrics.

• When to use os_log vs print?
  1 project | /r/iOSProgramming | 3 Jan 2023

  I liked os.log, but since I'm doing swift services on Linux I moved to SwiftLog. It's kind of bare bones, but you can attach it to different back ends. I'm just dumping logs to a file. Apple has made it open source.

• How to log only in debug mode? including network logs
  2 projects | /r/iOSProgramming | 26 Nov 2022

  Does anyone have experience with this? I've seen people mentioning to use Cocoalumberjack but not sure if its the right package (meaning if its not overkill). Apple have an open source logging library as well for this.

• Recommended library to log to file at high velocity?
  2 projects | /r/swift | 29 Nov 2021

  I ended up modifying https://github.com/apple/swift-log, and added a LogHandler impls to dump to SQLite, os_log, Crashlytics, internal metrics APIs, etc.

• Dangerous Logging in Swift
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 30 Oct 2021

  This is Foundation API, not Swift stdlib. One thing Swift probably can do, is to have the first parameter typed as `StaticString`. I am not sure if the header for NSLog has enough annotations to do so.

  OTOH: https://github.com/apple/swift-log
