What would make you choose swift vs rust at this point? The compile speeds have been getting pretty close to objective-c levels, there is 1st and 3rd party package management and its been recently open sourced and is actually being developed in the open.
On top of that they have the financial backing of apple.
- moonchrome 11y agoDoes Swift run on Windows ? Emscripten ? Android ? Portability is also a big question that Rust has a lot better incentives to solve than Apple. I got the impression that Linux support is more of a "here iOS/OSX develoeprs - we're aware you don't actually run OSX on your servers so you can share code between client and server now". I was not aware Apple wants to push Swift as a cross platform language. If it was and their commitment looked credible (ie. they start porting tools like integrating debuggers and stuff on other platforms as well) I would definitely consider it.
