Server-Side Swift from Scratch
summary
Server-side Swift is viable now: an open-source framework at http://github.com/pointfreeco builds and runs https://www.pointfree.co, using Swift types for middleware with phantom types that enforce response-state transitions at compile time, an applicative parsing router that produces an enum of routes and generates links safely, Swift-modelled HTML/CSS rendered via WKWebView and Swift playgrounds, and heavy snapshot testing with 100+ screenshots to confirm pages and emails actually work.
