[QUOTE="Hacker News, post: 74776, member: 365"] I am in a dilemma on which language to choose on the backend for my project. I am looking for a performant, statically-typed, systems programming language. I know C++. But C++ has become somewhat an over-engineered language that is mostly in a to-be-not-to-be state of feature development. So I looked at Rust and it already seems going in the direction of C++. So I looked at Swift, and I like what I see, but I am not sure if the language has any serious users on the server-side. IBM was one who was part of the group working on server-side features of Swift, but left the group sometime back. So I was wondering if anyone here is using Swift and or Vapor for backend development? What are the other alternatives, Nim?
