- user205738 9mo agoIt is not backward compatible, the library system is immature, and there is no variety of different compilers for the language.
- throwaway27448 9mo ago> the library system is immature Hoo boy, wait until you hear about the state of C++'s library "system"
- ckcheng 9mo agoWell they already chose Swift over Rust because they said: > Swift is strictly better in OO support and C++ interop So I guess from their point of view that’s why not rust. I don’t have a horse in the race. I was genuinely interested in why they didn’t even consider D given they already ruled out rust for those particular reasons, for which it seems D would fulfill nicely.
