Personally I think Swift could really change things for apple if it could be used for server side scripting. An integration with core data, and you could easily share Models on the client and server side.

It would make it a no brainer language to use for a mobile app, because you could kill two birds with one stone. To date however, apple has made no comment about cross platform development

But you'd have to use Mac servers, right?

Unless they open source it, yes.

Knowing apple, I feel that they would have an off the shelf solution that you could just push code to. Almost like a parse type solution, integrated through Xcode.
