So here are my own guesses:
While Swift looks more polished and much less verbose on the outside, Rust has better 'fundamentals' and community. Swift to Wasm is only an external experiment, not part of core Swift. Pretty much everything outside iOS is only an external experiment, not part of core Swift.
If these issues were fixed, would the Swift ARC compiler be preferable to the explicit Rust semantics, or are there other reason ARC is less favorable than the borrow checker?
- nazka 4y agoThere has been effort to be able to use Swift for the backend but it’s not taking off. I like the language for sure. Maybe people prefer to go all in performance by taking Rust?
