- melling 11y agoSwift repos will pass Go within 12 months. I think most iOS developers were holding off on Swift. Heck, Xcode and Swift, etc only became usable earlier this year.
- ikawe 11y agoMost people aren't writing open source iOS apps.
- cerberusss 11y agoNo but there are a lot of components.
- kibwen 11y agoThe numbers of results there vary wildly upon refreshing the page repeatedly. I'm getting ranges of 39k-79k for Go, 12k-42k for Swift, and 3k-9k for Rust. Also, in the absence of knowledge of what precisely is being measured (e.g. does it include forks?), we should probably only interpret these numbers as order-of-magnitude comparisons.
- MCRed 11y agoI think that doesn't support your hypothesis--- 31k in one year compared to 70k in 6 years implies a lot more momentum for swift than go.
