- coldtea 10y agoGo for everything else? Swift is moving for everything too, with the cross platform support, IBM adoption, etc...
- geodel 10y agoCross platform is not yet there Swift 3. I don't know what to make of IBM adoption of Swift, maybe Websphere Business Component are still a thing and a Swift version might enthrall enterprise users. IBM is already bringing Go on s and z series and writing software in Go like full blockchain implementation.
- pbnjay 10y agoCross platform isn't there yet though. I'll definitely give it more thought, especially if it does cross-platform GUIs (something Go does not have good libraries for). That said, Go's tooling, documentation, and ecosystem are much friendlier than Swift's. And since most of us spend more time doing that stuff than actually typing code, it's an important point for me in the comparison.
