Really hard to imagine a use case for Swift outside of Apple platforms. It's a good language without much library support anywhere other than Apple platforms.

Really hard to imagine a use case for Swift outside of Apple platforms. It's a good language without much library support anywhere other than Apple platforms.
- Someone 1y agoThe site being discussed prominently mentions - “Tools for Linux, macOS, and Windows” - “Run performant services on Linux and deploy to the cloud” - “Develop efficient, reliable firmware for devices like microcontrollers” - “Reuse existing C/C++ drivers and SDKs with zero wrappers or runtime glue, integrating in minutes.” The site has examples for running Swift code on a Raspberry Pi Pico W, an ESP32 microcontroller and a PlayDate. That doesn’t mean Swift is the best tool for doing these things, but “really hard to imagine a use case for Swift outside of Apple platforms”?
