Hi *,according to various popularity indices available on the web (not counting TIOBE, for those who care) Swift is still among the top 10 in most statistics, no matter what they count or on what the rank is based exactly.
Since you read this, you obviously know that Thrift has Swift bindings, and more importantly, you care about it to some degree.
For several months now the CI builds for Swift are broken and there are no more Swift patches coming in for months. This raises the question if there is any public interest left in maintaining the Apache Thrift Swift bindings any further, or whether the Swift community maybe already switched over to alternative libraries like [1].
Although I created this ticket [2] yesterday, I would be more than happy to close it myself as "won't fix" if there would be someone stepping up and take over. If, however, there is no active maintainer anymore, we may be forced to draw the conclusion and drop Swift support from the codebase. At this time, it is still just an option to be taken into consideration, not a final decision.
TL;DR: It depends on you. Have fun, JensG[1] https://blog.x.com/engineering/en_us/topics/open-source/2022/introducing-twitter-apache-thrift
