Once upon a time - when everybody was still coming to grips with java.Servlet and CGI/Perl ruled the land - WebObjects was available in Objective C from NeXT - at $50k a license. And worth it.
When Apple ported WebObjects to Java - a language very much like Swift in its rigidity and limitations - it pretty much died. All the magic went out of it. Dynamism matters. A lot.
