I’ve been programming for decades, though usually for myself, not as a profession. My current go-to language is Python, but I’m thinking of learning either Swift (I’m currently on the Apple ecosystem), or Rust. Which one do you think will be the best in terms of machine learning support in a couple of years and how easy is it to build MacOS/ iOS apps on Rust?

    OK - well at the end of the day the right approach is to have a problem you’re trying to achieve and pick the best language for that (wether you know the language or not).

    If it’s MacOS/iOS apps, then definitely don’t choose Rust. But reconsider that choice for your next project.

    Also, with modern large language models, it’s even easier to work with an unfamiliar language. And honestly it wasn’t ever all that difficult.
