> it is an ideal language for server-side code

Maybe, but in my most recent attempt to use vapor (~a year ago?), the project it created with `vapor new` had inscrutable compilation errors off the bat, and so I immediately gave up.

When was your most recent attempt? I think the `vapor` tool has been updated a few weeks ago[1]. Basically it was an old tool that worked around some limitations around SPM and Xcode, but it is mostly unneeded nowadays. It is basically a simple template resolver now, and I think the templates in question have been updated too.

On ubuntu or macOS? I've found Vapor to be pretty solid—and the Vapor team is super responsive via Github and Discord.
