Thanks @sandeep for inviting me.
Checkout Carthage, it works exactly like Cocoapods but it was written solely in Swift. Check out this tuts on how to include a 3rd party library in your project.
Both CocoaPods & Carthage seem to work from within Xcode. I don't want to use Xcode. I want to write a server-side code swift on linux. BTW, that bensnider link return 403 now. Will try again sometime later.
@jjude The link should work. Please let me know if you still have any question. But in the main time, Perfect is an example of using Swift on the backend.
