On an OS X server, you can go with with established HTTP service like Apache, but you are (at least for now) going to have write some kind of interface module to be able to integrate Swift code. Or, you can write your own HTTP service (there is source code for this sort of thing on, say, Github, which you could translate into Swift), and add whatever server-side processing your situation requires.So, yes, a pure OS X + Swift server solution is functionally possible now. But the problem is that this will only be good for low transaction rates. For higher volumes, you need scalability (load balancing, etc) and writing that sort of thing from scratch in Swift is going to be a challenge (not to mention time-consuming).My point in mentioning IBM and Microsoft is that, on the server side, (IMO)infrastructure is a more important consideration than your preference for APIs. Use the wrong language, and you'll be unhappy for a while during implementation. Use the wrong infra
