- gigatexal 2y agoThis is huge imo!! From the article: “Successor language search progress Over the past year, our core contributors have been exploring potential safe languages to complement or succeed C++. We evaluated several options, including Rust, Swift, Fil-C, and others. While some languages offered compelling features, many fell short in either C++ interoperability or providing the level of memory safety we needed. After extensive testing and discussion, Swift emerged as the top choice among our core developers, thanks to the new Swift 6 interoperability features and its growing cross-platform support. As a result, we’ve decided to adopt Swift as our C++ successor language.”
- gigatexal 2y agoI bet I could contribute. I’d have to learn Swift but I’ve been really wanting to anyway. That being said super modern C++ 23 and beyond looks really awesome compared to what I took at uni some 15 years ago.
