Swift predates Rust by a year (2014 for 1.0 of Swift vs 2015 for 1.0 of Rust)
- favorited 5y agoThat's just a version number. It's like saying Gmail launched in 2009, because that's when they removed the "beta" label, when people had actually been using it since 2004. Rust was available in 2012[0], and Swift wasn't until 2014. In reality, since we're talking about using it on the server, Swift wasn't available until almost 2016[1].

- b3morales 5y agoThey are either the same age or Rust is considerably older, depending on how you look at it: Rust was publicly announced in 2010, after ~4 years of development in private (starting sometime in 2006, though I don't know how fast that went).[0] Swift development started that year, 2010, in secret at Apple.[1] It became public in 2014 (some would say it was still in a beta state despite the 1.0 label).
