Sure, if you are on Apple devices. If you are not, better to use other languages like Rust, Go, or even Dart.
- palata 2y agoIs Dart still a thing? Genuinely interested.
- cogman10 2y agoYup. It got it's second life because Flutter adopted it as it's language. It was pretty dead for a few years (despite what the googlers will tell you...)
- FuturisticGoo 2y agoIt absolutely is and its a pleasant language to work with. Although it is in a kinda-symbiotic relationship with Flutter, I've found myself using it for small scripts and cli tools instead of Python because of its strong+static typing with null safety. Relevant to the topic, Dart (and Flutter) supports targeting wasm.
- mdhb 2y agoNot only a thing but is growing at a crazy rate. Easily my favourite language out there for the last few years.
- izacus 2y agoThe direct competitor to Swift is most likely Kotlin and I bet it'll win out as a cross platform solution of choice in a couple of years as KMP stabilizes.
