Hey! I've been doing a lot of work stuff. Senior engineer slash engineering manager life. But I'm really fucking pumped that the FCC is moving to restore net neutrality in the US.

I know C# has gotten a ton of performance tuning on the stack, and was wondering if Swift was up to the task.
I have never done Swift on the Server before, but the results are impressive:
