Maybe I just haven't looked at the right codebases, but most of the Rust I've seen reminds me more of C++, being more dense, technical, and "noisy". The language most similar in syntax to Swift I've seen is Kotlin, but it's still more quirky and rigid than Swift is.
- dagmx 3y agoI write a lot of Swift and Rust, and personally I find them to be very similar languages, and most of my code ends up identical. They have a lot of shared ideas and even shared developers. Swift is effectively ref counted rust imho
- danpalmer 3y agoI think this does a disservice to Rust, but I do agree with the thrust of your point. Rust appeals to my desire for perfect engineering, Swift appeals to that side enough, but with a healthy dose of pragmatic engineering. On a perfect to pragmatic scale, Swift is in a better place than Rust in my opinion.
