Rust borrow checker and lifetimes are sometimes so frustrating. I hope that the Jakt language will evolve to the language I'd like to see: Swift without ties to Apple and Objective-C.
- bscphil 3y agoApple has been pushing Swift on Linux enough that I've been checking out its progress every so often. It will probably never get entirely free of ObjC but it's a nice enough language that I'd really like to be able to use it for cross-platform desktop applications. Having a pretty robust standard library and a stable ABI (currently just on macOS) are big plusses, in my book. Having a built in REPL is icing (delicious, delicious icing).
