Ask yourself if learning a proprietary language from a company past its prime is the best thing to learn with the time you will spend.

There is plenty of talk about progressive web apps, and how engagement is massively boosted by not forcing an app install on a potential user before they have mental buy in into what you have on offer.

And swift on a server? Just no. Remember Cold Fusion?

Learn Python. Learn Haskell. Learn F#. Hell.. learn Java (disclaimer: I'm not aware of what your current skills are)... But Swift.. worth a quick look and a peering into its syntactic sugar, to be used only when absolutely needed - I.e. you get 100k to develop an Apple Watch app.

You do realize that Swift is open source now right ?
