- ajross 1y agoThe point was that basically no one knows Swift, and everyone knows Java. If you want to point out a memory safe language in the "managed garbage-collected runtime" family, you probably shouldn't pick Swift.
- orobio 1y agoI wouldn’t put Swift in the same ‘managed garbage-collected runtime’ family as Java, C#/.NET, Go, and Javascript, so maybe they weren’t trying to do what you think. Swift is more like a native systems programming language that makes it easy to trade performance for ergonomics (and does so by default).
