I'm excited about server-side Swift (nice language, nice memory management model). But it would have helped to mention the other frameworks like Perfect or Kitura and compare/contrast the motivating principles here. Unless I missed them?

Well he does briefly mention the three best-known frameworks for server-side Swift (Vapor, Kitura, and Perfect) in the middle of the piece, when he talks about middleware.

But I think the thrust of this piece is eschewing currently-available frameworks and rethinking what we have come to think a "web framework" should do, and doing those things with a interchangeable plain-vanilla Swift approach, a sort of "Swift-is-my-framework" approach.

(I might be missing something, though, because I've only skimmed the post and added it to my read-later list...)

If you read the transcript you'll notice that they are mentioned, along with Vapor
