Is Swift really the second most popular language since 2000? Golly. I have been using Swift for some months now. It is more modern than C/C++, sure, but it really suffers from lack of development. The ergonomics of it is poor. Especially compared to Rust. Some design choices are quite odd (the definition of a constant defined with `let` for exampe) It is the only easily available choice for developing on Apple, AFAICT. Hence it is so popular. As a fresh developer on Apple, but grizzled and grey, I must say teh development tools and ecosystem reminds me of Linux in 1997. Everything mostly works
