...hasn't Swift become a viable alternative in this space by now? I see it's getting used in ML a bit, and looks nicer than D and easier to learn than Rust.

- nazka 8y agoWhat's really missing in Swift it's all the multithread tools you can have with Rust like channels, MPMC... Anything from the "Fearless Concurrency". Personally I will love to see that happening for Swift to be able to really use it for the backend.
- pjmlp 8y agoJust like Objective-C, Swift is mostly a thing on Apple platforms.
- adamnemecek 8y agoSwift is somewhat higher level than Rust. You don't think much about allocations in Swift, whereas Rust is DSL for reasoning about allocations.
