That part aside, I have to say Vapor kind of took over my brain for a year when I was in college. So much so that I actually built some freelance sites with it. A typed language for web development?! I loved the idea of using swift to make websites and honestly everything just worked so well—-until it didn't.
Remember Heroku? Well there was a heroku buildpack to make a vapor site build with a push to a git repo. Worked great 4 years ago. Well I’ve been ignoring heroku emails (my email is a landfill) for about 3 years and little did I know they had completely end-of-lifed the Postgres version I had been using to the point where the entire build was bricked. I could have spent like 5 hours downloading Xcode and getting it updated and working through errors but instead I just spun up a next js TypeScript site and had a working solution with code ported over (yay for static small sites) and deployed live. Today TypeScript does the job that Swift did for me back then, enabling types for web dev. Anyway, thanks to everyone who worked on or currently works on Vapor!
