The document discusses IBM's efforts to extend Swift to servers and modern applications. Some key points include: - Swift has grown rapidly in popularity and is now the second most loved programming language. - IBM is extending Swift to allow building server applications and services in addition to client apps. - IBM has developed tools and frameworks like Kitura, IBM Cloud Tools for Swift, and the Swift Sandbox to simplify building, running, and deploying Swift applications on servers and clouds. - These tools aim to provide an integrated developer experience for building apps that integrate client, server, and third party services using a common Swift language.
