Mark Dain Not that surprising. I think there's two angles: OS X is closer to Linux than Windows (Darwin is BSD based) so porting is probably easier but secondly, I think Apple likes the idea of Swift on the server; shared models for your iOS/OS X app; frontend and backend?

Martijn I wonder how hard it would be to build on other distros. The rumours are they want to focus on servers, and I do not believe Ubuntu is very big in the server world. My host uses CentOS, I think.
