I agree, with the type of growth Swift has shown in the past, there is going to be a big demand for Swift developers now. Swift could possibly rule the mobile/web. I have already added it on my #TODO list :)
- untog 11y agoI doubt Swift will rule the web. Javascript has yet to be dethroned by any other language coming before it, after all.
- ignorabilis 11y agoIf you ask me, no chance to rule the web. JavaScript has been the standard for a very long time now. Because JS is not a flawless language dozens of js precompilers have been created till now, so the competition is pretty rough. Swift tries to be functional and provides you a way to use immutable data structures, but it is neither functional nor opinionated enough to force immutablity. With that said I personally don't think that it brings something new to the already existing web ecosystem. It sure is a nicer alternative to obj-c though.
- aaggarwal 11y agoWhen I was referring to web, I mainly considered the web-backend on web-servers. JavaScript is the standard for frontend, no doubt.
