       | Interesting reading. I hope Swift grows in popularity outside of
       | the Apple world.

       | Though I've only played with it, I quite liked what I saw of
       | Vapor (ditto Swift as a whole, with which I have more
       | experience). The next time I need to build an API, I'll probably
       | give it a shot.

       | However, I really love Things and I always bring it up whenever
       | someone talks about usability and intuitive design. It's such a
       | beautiful pie e of software, written in native code (compared to
       | all the bloated, slow electron apps). It just is very nice to
       | work with Things.

         | subscription-only model.

         | use case and sorts it's a good match.
