Swift is a language that I have a lot of interest on, but while its bound to iOs only, I can't justify studying it. Swift on the server would be awesome!

The article content is all about how Swift isn’t bound to iOS. You can use it in Ubuntu, Fedora, and inside a Docker container — combined with the “Remote - Docker” extension, as well as some Swift-related extensions hooked up to the included-with-Swift sourcekit-lsp provider, makes editing and running Swift on Linux fairly easy.

And Swift 6 will likely see Swift on Windows, sometime next year. That work will be built upon the efforts for Swift on Linux, so you can get ready for that today.

Check out Swift for TensorFlow. May give you a new motivation... ;)

it's not bound to IOS, just focused on it. It works in linux and will probably get windows support this year.
also works on Mac OS
