Swift interfaces with C and Objective-C natively right? I can't wait to see web servers written with it.

I'm very excited to write web servers in it. I think this is probably how open sourcing it was sold, internally; that it would allow people to develop their entire infrastructure using apple's technologies.

I think they have two primary reasons for open sourcing it:

1. Being able to upstream more into LLVM means less maintenance of their internal forks.

2. The recent open sourcing of Microsoft .NET core parts.
