Low level languages can be much more performant, and it would allow to share code with iOS/Android apps.
Actually...
Maybe they should be included in almost all of the runtimes. Accessing a DB is part and parcel of micro-services work, and actions would benefit from that as well, to avoid passing huge JSON files across a sequence.
I know... Docker
But it requires a different set of skills, plus pushing a container to DockerHub, etc... That's a lot of friction.
Please include necessary libs in the image to use PostgreSQL/MySQL/SQLite/...
In other runtimes
But Swift doesn't handle pg/mysql/...
Natively? No. However, libraries can be used.
