In December 2019, IBM announced it had no further plans to develop the Kitura framework.^[4][5] As of January 2020, work on server-side Swift was discontinued at IBM.^[6] In September 2020, Kitura transitioned to be a community-run project^[7][8] however it struggled to gain traction within the developer community and so is no longer under active development.^[9]
