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!

Metrics API for Swift

Project mention: Swift outside the Apple ecosystem? | /r/swift | 2023-04-27

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.
