It's one of the fastest growing languages out there. I don't think OCaml or Haskell are missing any features of swift but I definitely believe swift to be an much easier to learn language that supports the majority of the features those languages support. It's also more likely to be able to be used on the job than those languages. I'm a big fan of Rust but it's growth has been slow and Elixir is really aimed at a different target than Rust or Swift.
- steveklabnik 10y agoHow are you measuring Rust's growth?
- jaegerpicker 10y agoNumber of available jobs, open source projects (outside of mozilla who created it), tiobe index growth, etc... It's less a totally qualified index of growth vs a general informed opinion. To be cleared I really enjoy Rust and hope that it grows like crazy soon but compared to Swift I think it's growth has been smaller.
- steveklabnik 10y agoCool. Always curious!
