Rust and Swift are not in the same arena as C++ and Zig. The former offer memory safety and the latter don't --- a critical distinction, since the main reason Rust exists is to provide memory safety in contexts where C++ has traditionally been dominant.
- oscargrouch 6y agoThats because you have divided the languages by properties and i´ve originally divided them over the class of software that can be written in those languages. More as "system language" category, where you can code OS´s, JIT compilers, Browsers or any time/memory sensitive kind of software. Thats why they were packed together. Classically, those sort of things could be only coded in C and C++ as the attempts in doing them in "higher level" languages mostly failed.
