For me, swift will be the ideal language (for syntax/style and performance ok for me). But is a deal killer that is not good on windows and no starter for android (that sadly, I need to support because is the dominant platform in my country).
If at least swift was great for backend/logic (ie: no UI on win/android/linux) it could be enough...
- NobodyNada 7y agoFor what it's worth, that Reddit post is from last summer, and Swift on Linux development progresses extremely quickly. It's become pretty mature on Ubuntu by now. It's definitely more rough on Windows and Android, but at least CI is set up and passing on both platforms (which wasn't the case a year ago): https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/README.md
